In the "haft rangi" method, artisans put on all the colors at once, then fired the tile.
Sometimes the head is more upswept forming a wider angle with the haft.
The cutting edge is broader than the edge which is attached to the haft.
The opposite edge, at the point of the triangle, was the hafted end; the tool itself was generally hafted at right angles to the handle.
Generally, the form consisted of a wooden haft some 4-6.5 ft long, mounted with a steel head.
Modern hafts are sometimes constructed from a sawed blank with a dowel added for strength at the crook.
In this painting, the artist painted haft women and half men with a contrast scale.
The haft was 120 cm long and wrapped in ornamented birch-bark.
