Today, skin working using tools made of stone is practiced only in certain parts of North America, Siberia, and Ethiopia. This type of scraper is used in Ethiopia by various populations, including the Gamo, Gurage, and Oromo.
It consists of a more or less oval handle carved from a thick piece of wood. At its heavier end, one or two shaped stones are fitted and held in place using acacia resin. The skin (either cow or goat) is stretched on a wooden frame before being scraped.
Several scrapers, with stones regularly reshaped and replaced, are needed for processing a single skin. This specimen originates from the Gamo people and is locally known as 'zucano.' Well-worn from use, it partially retains the two pieces of obsidian typical of Gamo scrapers.
Intense patina of use.
Total height with stand 30 cm.
