- Description: Pounding with three pestles to one mortar. Six or seven girls stand around the mortar and take turns tp pound. One girl on each repeat of the tune, throws her pestle up into the air to the next on her left, this girl catches it in mid air and first pounds lightly on the edge of the mortar (the sound of which can be clearly heard) and then in the mortar until it is her turn to throw it on to her neighbor who repeats the process. Since the pestles weigh about 20 lbs. each, this game at the mortar takes considerable skill and strength. Pounding song with mortar and two pestles
