Agricultural tools are abundant and adapted to the tasks to be accomplished and to the nature of the crops. The spider and its ploughshare are used to turn the soil, while the different types of hoes are used to break up clods and to hoe. The pruning hooks, sickles and serpettes are used to harvest - among other things - the cereals which are stored in large ceramic vases.
