Description: Rice husking (kutnuing): separating the edible rice grain from the husk. The man in the background steps on the heavy wooden plank lifting it up while the woman sweeps the unhusked rice into a hole in the stone below. When the man steps off the plank it pounds down onto the rice and breaks off the husk from the grain.
