Kasah

English: (noun) a large rattan mat - This mat is usually used to dry paddy or pepper with the rough side up. When it is used as a mat, the smoother side is on the upside. Due to its durable material, the kasah can last many, many years and sometimes passed down as an heirloom to an offspring. It was also used as a casket when the owner died before coffins were common place.
