Fish Trap3393/1

A large, rectangular fish trap (Ghunni). The main body of the trap is made up of thin bamboo strips running parallel to one another, and stitched together with palm leaf. The palm leaf has been twisted together into thicker strands, and is woven perpendicular to the bamboo. The trap's frame is constructed from thicker pieces of bamboo. This includes the edges of the trap, as well as further reinforcement on the sides, top, and bottom. All sides of the trap are closed except for the front. The front of the trap is made from two pieces that have been angled inwards to form an inverted triangle. There is a gap between the two pieces which allows fish to swim through. Inside of the trap, just beyond this opening, are two flexible structures made of thin bamboo strips. The strips are woven together in rows using palm leaf. The structures are tied to both ends of the trap, and pointed inward to keep fish from swimming back out of the box.

Fish Trap3393/3

A bamboo plunge trap used for catching fish. The trap is shaped like an inverted cone, with a narrow top and wide bottom. It has a thick, circular, wooden rim at the top. Bamboo strips are joined to the rim and extend downward, growing farther apart as the distance increases. Near the rim, there are two bamboo rings, one on the inside, and one on the outside of the trap. Metal wire is woven across both rings, securing the bamboo strips in between them. Four more bamboo rings are positioned inside of the trap, and secured to the bamboo strips by metal wire. The rings grow larger the farther they extend from the rim. Between the third and fourth bamboo rings, there is a thicker, darker, rounded ring secured in place by five bamboo wedges. At this point the trap bends more sharply, so that the bamboo strips are all parallel to one another as they reach the bottom of the trap. Near the bottom, a sixth, ring made of metal wire has been woven around the bamboo strips to further secure them. The end of each bamboo strip comes to a point.
