Rakala

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"515. Plough - "Rakala" The plough of the natives of the Indian Archipelago is very primitive, similar to the antique ploughs. It consists of a long shaft for pulling, "watan-raakal", whose end is hung onto the yoke of the buffalo and fastened with cords,  then the share "mata" which is either made of iron or simply of hard palm wood, and finally a simple hand-piece, "teko", with which the plougher directs the plough."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J. (1883). Catalog mit Erklärungen der Etnografischen Privatsammlung des Dr. F. A. J. Czurda in Postelberg (Böhmen). (p. 129). Wien, Wilhelm Braumüller
