Ukhal musal (Mortar & Pestle)
Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University
Ahmedabad, India
This ukhal musal was made from kikar wood, around twelve years ago by the family carpenter. The musal was decorated using white paint for a marriage. The central part of the turned wood pestle had a thinner cross section for better grip. One would sit on a patadi (low seat) or a pidha (stool) while using the ukhal musal.
