Classic never felt so contemporary - Nailed it!

I live in a village which is slowly progressing towards modernisation. People still tend to prefer the older culture and tradition. My village always fascinates me, because of th old mud houses, pure food and the love that we get among the people. But with the time, things started to change and all the ancient items were getting lost in the transition. The rapid progress did took away the village charm, but ocassionaly we get to see certain items which reminds me of the terrific past. Like the iron ball shaped item attached to a iron material.

Now if we consider it as a iron ball, then, we might sound wrong, as it is actually an ancient "Iron nail/rivets" that keeps the hook to move freely. It was nailed through a hole into the wooden piece at the back.

This is the part of one such ancient item which were discarded now. Ancient things are considered precious because they provide a tangible connection to the past, offering valuable insights into how people lived, what they believed in, and the cultural practices of long-gone civilizations. Like this piece of iron hook that was naiked to a wooden door. The door is string enough to break, but the hook to the door just provide some additional safety. Many older homes in my village had string wooden doors with this iron hook, which were plugged into another iron pieve of ring, on the other ply of door.

Some ancient objects are prized for their beauty and craftsmanship, even by modern standards. They act as a window into history and giving us a deeper understanding of our heritage. Their rarity due to the passage of time also contributes to their value. Although these doors wwre discarded they do have many stories to tell.

Due to the passage of time and natural degradation, many ancient objects simply do not survive, making those that do more valuable. However, this piece does not have any sign of degradation. The iron is in good condition. While one end is nailed to the door, which is movable and rstational the other end works as a hook, which were put into a iron ring.

The iron hooks would catch onto a corresponding piece on the other frame to hold the door closed. Surely, such things were not found in todays time. Now these heavy doors were used to seperate grains manually. Finding them like this, I just wondered all the relevant stories that they try to tell. But unable to decode the same.

This is my entry to the #monomad challenge

Peace!!
