If you look closely at the enlarged photos you will see the aging and patina on this piece. In addition, note, on the bottom, how the front and back ends are a bit worn... from the scoop rubbing on the bottom of the supply container (or ground) over the course of many, many years of hard work.
The handle on the bottom swivels, so a person put one hand on the front handle and one on the back, and then went to work to move rice from a supply container to perhaps a home-sized container.
There is a pretty Asian-themed brass hanger already mounted, so it's ready to hang... and the price is absolutely right! Heck, maybe you could use it as a place to put your bills!
