Agricultural implements were largely of wooden construction; of these, the plough* (*nagula*) is the principal. Others of importance are the *pōruva* or scraper, and the *laha* and *kuruniya* measures. The wooden bells or clappers (*so-kaḍa*) hung from the necks of buffaloes are also interesting. Into the details of all these forms, however, it is hardly necessary to enter. Many are characteristically ornamented.
