EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a Palestinian woman skillfully using a traditional rotary hand quern to grind corn in the Middle East, circa 1920s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural history of Palestine and the primitive yet effective technology used by its people to process their staple crops. The woman, dressed in traditional Palestinian clothing, wears a headscarf or headdress that adds to the authenticity of the scene. Her focus is on the quern, a large, heavy stone mill consisting of two circular stones, one stationary and the other rotated by a handle. The corn is placed between the stones, and as the woman turns the upper stone with her hands, the corn is ground into flour. The rotary hand quern was a common tool used in various parts of the world, including the Middle East, for milling grains and other hard substances. Its simplicity and efficiency made it an essential component of daily life for countless generations. This photograph not only showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the Palestinian people but also highlights the importance of traditional methods in food production and the preservation of cultural heritage. The image is a testament to the enduring connection between people and the land, as well as the ingenuity and innovation that have shaped human history.
