These pakkhi were made by the same woman over different time periods. All three pakkhi had different kinds of frames, handles and materials that form the surface of the pakkhi. The pakkhi on the top was made most recently with a metal frame with a plastic handle while the one on the bottom left has a wooden handle. The pakkhi on the bottom right was made with a date leaf and was covered with a fabric.
