Graters and rasps are manufactured all over the world from an enormous
variety of materials, including rattan, cane, bamboo, plant stems,
ceramic, tin, and stone. This grater is from Brazil, and was made
some time before 1896. It is made from a fish’s mouth and
used for grating cassava, or manioc, an edible tuber that is poisonous
if not correctly prepared.
