Two Sinhalese Tills, Esaias Boursss, 1662 Two men are outside in an open field. They stand upright, each with a hoe (udalla) on a long stick. They both only wear a small loincloth (Lanket, Lunket) that covers the cross and leaves the buttocks exposed. The long wavy hair of both men hangs loose over the shoulders. The man on the left has the hoe next to him on the floor. He holds the stick with the right hand; The left arm hangs relaxed along the side. The man on the right - possibly the same figure - has the hoe behind him. This man (nen) are Singalese farmers belonging to the Goviya Kaste. T
