Bird net for hunting

(UEM12197) Rev. Bodding’s notes: 'Spread on the ground and covered by leaves. Bait is spread on top, and when the birds have gathered it is pulled and the net closes in on top. This net is used in particular when the birds come to drink water. It is then often spread in shallow water.' Material: Vegetable fibre. Length: 163 cm, width: 117 cm.
