kingdom: Plantae

occurrenceRemarks:
Pomlazkas are made fresh every year from Salix.  There are many intricate weaves ranging from 2-9 Salix strips.  The handles show great variability and each pomlazka is topped with a variety of ornamentation depending on the region and whether it is made for home use or for sale to others.  Children have an easter game whereby young boys visit friends and locals (villagers) and ask to see young girls.  They ask them for easter eggs.  If the girl likes the boy, she gives him a colourful or ornamented egg(often with intricate patterns, colours with strong regional bias).  If she does not, she gives him a plain coloured egg.  The boy is then entitled to symbolically whip her with his pomlazka for the plain egg.  There is a rich easter heritage in the Czech Republic of which Pomlazka is a small element.  CH Stirton. 1. Stick from Krkonose Mountains.  8 children selling them by the roadside (not a tourist item). 2.  Jicin, N. Bohemia.  Sold by an old woman in the Old Town Square, made by local village children.

Notes on putcher from Deryk Huby (Putcher fisherman on River Severn): Trap is used for catching salmon.  A number of putchers are held in position on the river bed by posts and rails.  This is known as a putcher weir.  The term fixed engines is given to a putcher or putt fishery when in operation.  Putchers are usually made of willow, but nowadays some are partly made of cane or hazel, also there are metal (aluminium) putchers.  A putcher is made up of 9 staves or uprights.  These are whole or split withies about 6 feet long, and 7 or 9 meters which are whole or split withies about 3 feet 6 inches long. The 9 staves are then held in a frame called a putcher bench.  Withies are then woven round the staves about 15 inches to 18 inches apart.  These rings are called the bench ring, middle ring and hem. The putcher is then removed from the putcher bench, turned over, and the spiral of withy is then woven round the staves and meters drawing them into the shape of a cone.  This is called 'nosing up'.  The ends of the withies are then trimmed off and the putcher is finished. Putcher featured in Daily Telegraph, Sat 5 August, 1995, as a dying craft.  162cm height, 76cm width at mouth Double willow twinning, 2cm rods  Econ.

specificEpithet: verticillata
occurrenceRemarks:
Seeds like Garcinia cola, are stimulant/medicinal/aphrodisiac. Purchased on Limbe market spice stall, these are harvested from the forest floor (affecting regeneration of all the species).  Several varieties are sold and consumed.  C. verticillata is regarded as inferior to cultivated varieties. Smaller seed is probably Cola nitida - a cultivated variety - and more highly valued than verticillata.

Palm nuts are placed inside the pointed end of the trap and the inner ring of barbs prevents the fish getting out once they have entered.  Similar traps are made to catch other fish, this one was made unusually small to enable transportation.  Usually they are 4-5 feet long.  The pointed end can be untied to get the fish out.  The conical shape is held round by a ring of inner bark from a Legume - Mimosoideae.

Made and used by the Bedu of Jebel Dhofar, Dhofar.  Locally called mifan.  Purchased by Roddy Jones in Jebel above Salalah.  Following excerpt from Miller AG, Morris M. 1988.  Plants of Dhofar.  The Southern Region of Oman.  Traditional, Ec and Med Uses.It provided the hardest, closest grained wood of the area, and was therefore in heavy demand for making implements essential to daily life as well as the weapons which were used in the frequent internecine conflicts.  In particular, the wood wasused to make the short heavy staff (J:xotrok), without which no adult male would go anywhere, and the throwing stick (J:ekit), formerly carried as a weapon, which was pointed at botoh ends, a thickened section in the middle (J:kursodot), porviding the handhold.  These tow vital implements were made with great care, usually by a recognised expert.  He firstly selected a suitable branch from a tree, cut it and roughly shaped it, removing the smaller side branches, leaves and twigs.  Then he put it in a liquid mixture of cow dung, urine and earth to soak for at least a week, after which the bark was easily removed from the heartwood (J:obbot).  Then the stick was carved into its final shape, hardened over a slow fire, then planed and rubbed down.  Finally it was oiled and burnished at intervals with butter until it was smooth and glossy.  Such sticks had a real marketable value, and were always in high demand.  A pretty variant of the xotrok was made for camel herders and for the girls and young women who herded the immature livestock: the bark was cut round and removed at regular intervals along the length of a slim branch before the stick was soaked and fire hardened - the result when the whole of the bark was stripped off was a stick attractively striped in cream and dark brown.  This was called (J:xotrok ekizi bis).

occurrenceRemarks:
Seed necklace from Lajamanu tribe - Central Desert.  Made by Jodie Watkins, purchased at the Aboriginal Shop in Darwin. Threaded on human hair. Although the desert grows very cold on winter nights, its people never had to wear heavy clothing, such as thefur rugs of the coastal and southern areas.  Instead, they wore string tassles, waistbands and simple headbands.  All wore nose bones and the men dressed their hair in elaborate chignon.  In everyday life no other ornaments were needed, the body cicatrices denoting status and individuality.  Women and children enjoyed the simple social ritual of adorning each other's hair with grass seeds, attaching them to form a fringe around the face, and occasionally little pellets of clay were added for the same decorative purpose.  Womens seed necklaces were certainly made and worn, probably then, as now, for the womens ceremonies centering on sexuality and fecundity and for others that formed an adjunct to the mens separate initiation ceremonies.  The necklaces are now also made as craft items for sale.  Seeds of the ininti tree are found in large quantities, either in their pods still on the tree, or fallen in scattered quantities amongst the sand and leaf debris below.  One of the favourite pastimes of the womenand children is to collect the seeds as they search for food. The seeds may be yellow, orange or brilliant red.  The colours can be clearly picked out as the children and women run the sand through their hands, allowing the wind to separate it from the seeds.  Ininti and witchinbarara, the small round brown seeds, are formed into long strands, generally on hand spun string made from human hair, although this is occasionally replaced by machine spun wool.  Necklaces are in fact decorative body ornaments, worn in lengthy harnesses over one shoulder, across the chest and under the arms.  They are also wound around the head to form headbands to hold feather headdresses in place.  These might always have been secular in nature, as very young girls are encouraged to wear the regalia when learning the dances from their older relatives.  A similar ininti seed necklace was collected by early ethnographer Balkwin Spencer in 1912, testifying to the continuity of this ancient form of body decoration.

In ancient times, it was a giant fernlike tree.  The twenty species surviving today are miniature versions of their ancestors.  Horsetail is known for its abrasive texture.  In fact, it can be used to sand wood or scour and shine metal.  This is due to its high silica content.  Silica, a vital element of health, is found in all tissues and organs of the body, including the skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones, tendons and ligaments.  Horsetail yields a deep green color when used for dying fabric.  The cut stems also make an interesting addition to herb and flower arrangements.

occurrenceRemarks:
Furniture donated by London College of Furniture.  Made by the students.  Early 18th Century walnut chair. Queen Anne style.  Made by R Kinsey. Walnut was introduced as a furniture timber towards the end of the 17th century and became popular in the Royal household, and the homes of the nobility.  The skills introduced by foreign craftsmen (some came over with William of Orange) brought about the introduction of the trade of cabinet making.  The chair is constructed from solid walnut, yet the back uprights are cross-band veneered on the flat fron surfaces, as are the outer edges of the seat frame.  Veneering here is shown as it was originally introduced as a decorative feature.

Piece donated by London College of Furniture.  Made by S Sesay.  Mid 18th Century design.  Mahogany became the principle furniture timber during this period, and the work of Thomas Chippendale was some of the finest to be seen. The tripod table was a very fashionable piece, and a particular feature is the raised moulded edge and carved rim round the tabletop, generally known as the pie-crust.  In the original tables this formed part of the solid top, the surface being hollowed out within the raised rim.On reproduction tables it is usually possible to see the joint between the flat top and an applied rim.

Sieve used for sago.  The sieve is placed in a series of channels made from sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) petioles and sheaths.  They are placed in upper end of 'gutter'.  The sago pith is placed into sieve and water from swamp is poured into the sieve (with pulp) and the mix is mashed, turned and squeezed.  Then some rapid pushes force the solution through the sieve and the pith is wrung out.  The starchy liquid runs down the gutter into settling tank (lower end of leaf sheath) which is dammed.  Starch settles out.  After repeated wringings, water runs out leaving a block of solid starch.  This block is wrapped in Metroxylon leaflets.

specificEpithet: natalensis
occurrenceRemarks:
Garment bought by Dominic Byarugaba (People and Plants Initiative, Africa Regional Programme) in a market for 4000 Uganda shillings.  The stitching is from Raphia farinifera (Gaertn.) Hylander. This bark cloth comes from a 2m length of bark of a tree, the lower, older and more broken part having the most stitching.  Cloth of this quality is used for shrouds for bodies prior to burial.  Young children who wet their beds are given blankets of this rough quality to help cure them of the habit.  Finer, more processed quality cloth forms the basis of traditional attire for women of the Lake region of Uganda. Stripping of the bark starts about 30cm from the ground and continues up to the first branching (up to 3m).  Processing can extend a strip of bark from 60cm to 250cm wide.  The trees are stripped of bark every 6-8 months.  The best time to do this is in the wet seasons (a short one, from March-April and a longer wet one from September to November) when the bark recovers quickest.  To prevent desiccation and fungal attack, banana leaves are wrapped round the stripped portions for 6 to 8 days (in wet season and dry seasons, respectively).  Trees can be stripped of bark in this fashion up to 30 times. Ficus natalensis is increasingly planted in agroforestry systems as a cover crop for banana and coffee, and a source of bark. A video is currently being produced by Dominic Byarugaba and Tony Cunningham showing the processing of Ficus natalensis bark cloth.  This example was donated to the Economic Botany Collections on 21 April, 1999 in Paris at the annual meeting of the People and Plants Initiative (WWF/UNESCO/RBG, Kew).

occurrenceRemarks:
This notebook was made by children at the Sreepur Children's village in Bangladesh using re-cyced jute waste.  They also produce Christmas and birthday cards and envelopes from waste.  The village is the creation of a former British Airways stewardess, Pat Kerr, who became aware of the plight of orphans in the capital, Khaka, during stopovers.  At that time, in the early nineteen eighties, they were housed in a crumbling tenement block without proper sanitation which had been condemned.  With the blessing of Lord King, then the airline's chairman, she set up a charity to help and raised nearly 700,000 pounds sterling in 6 years to establish the new site at rural Sreepur, 40 miles north of Dhaka. It has now been in operation for nine years and has expanded to include a school and workshops where the children are taught many skills including carpentry and papermaking.  More than 600 children are currently living there and some of the earlier residents have gone on to become airline employees, beauticians and soldiers. The emphasis in the craft shops, however, is very much on traditional Bangladeshi skills using materials like jute and wood from jackfruit and carob trees which abound.  The women who are the children's 'Ayahs' or surrogate mothers are also taught these skills.  Money raised from the sale of furniture and paper products also helps towards the upkeep of the children's village.  Donated by Jim Davies, 13 Julius Court, Brentwood Dock, Middlesex, TW9 8QY (26/02/1998), a freelance journalist who, when working for the Daily Express, covered the project for an article and in January,1998, revisited Bangladesh for the marriage of Pat Kerr.

ScientificName: Phytelephas aequatorialis
scientificNameAuthorship: Spruce
kingdom: Plantae
family: Arecaceae
genus: Phytelephas
specificEpithet: aequatorialis
occurrenceRemarks:
Seeds from the Tagua Initiative.  There are several species of Phytelephas ranging from Panama as far south as the Peru Bolivia border.  However, the species harvested in Ecuador, and the focus of the project is Phytelephas aequatorialis.  As button making material, tagua is quite successful and has been used to make buttons for over 100 years.  Until the late 1980s and early 1990s, tague had virtually disappeared from the button market.  It was very common to the period around  WWII, when plastics became  much more common and cheaper than natural materials.  The Tagua Project came around at a time when interest in the rainforests was growing, designers were looking for more natural materials, and were also looking for inexpensive ways to make their garments look more stylish.  Since tagua has retained an image as a classic material, it benefited from these and other trends. These seeds were supplied to The Millenium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place by the Tague Initiative (for interest) and were passed on by Mrs. J Sandell (WP) to EBC.
