which are seized between the fingers and crushed between the teeth. The pointed end is employed to crush blisters raised on the body by mosquito bites (enligt bildtexten uppgiften utvidgad till .."to crush the blister raised by various insects"). These tools, also fashioned by the men, are used exclusively by the women to groom their menfolk and each other."
