Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"262-263. Sieves - "Patanda".Two small, different sized, four-sided sieves which are extremely finely woven of hair-thin split bamboo which forms then a very fine meshwork. These sieves are used in the house for sieving very fine seeds. They are not the work of the locals but have been imported from the surrounding islands."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J. (1883).
