黑白毛編拋石索是藏族人民的放牧用具。用雙色牦牛毛編織而成。一頭有套環(huán)，中部編成橢圓形。使用時(shí)中指伸入套環(huán)，在中部橢圓形部位放好石子兒，食指抓住末段，用力甩出，放開末段，石子兒就能飛出。牧民以此驅(qū)趕牲畜，是藏族傳統(tǒng)放牧用具。

Stone Throwing Rope

200 cm long

yak hair

Presented by the 14th Dalai LamaTenzin Gyatso to Chairman Mao Zedong in the 1950s.

The stone-throwing rope is an instrument used for herding in Tibet. Woven with black and white yak hair, it has a loop at one end and an oval in the middle.Putting your middle finger in the loop and a cobblestone in the oval, you grasp the other end of the rope with your index finger and hurl it suddenly. The cobblestone will be tossed out. The stone-throwing rope is a traditional herding tool used by Tibetans.

編輯短評：同樣都是簡易的拋石工具，漢族小朋友用彈弓玩游戲、打鳥，藏族的小朋友可能就要用這個(gè)拋石索參加放牧勞動了。
