TXURJI
/peneira/ [portuguese]
Basket tray [eng].
Traditional pestle and mortar made out of wood. Used mainly by women to crush grains or herbs for cooking and also used in the process of preparing medicinal herbs.
Traitional healers use it to make traditional incense. In my practice I use txurji to make incense, then grinding the roots and herbs for medicinal use and for
textile dyes.
Txurji pounding.
