Two Nepalese Wooden Butter Churning Fulcrums
About the Item
Butter churners, along with many milk related objects are greatly prized and held as symbols of life and fertility because of their relationship with milk. In the high Himalayan steppes, milk forms a staple to the diet of the Middle Hills people. In a harsh environment, without the more diverse foods of the lowlands, milk and its various by products have become sacred. By association milk related objects have been imbued with the magical properties of the life giving substance.
