People are coming down the dried mud-bank and across the sand to meet us, red lacquered Trays of fruit and vegetables on their heads, and some with their baggage on their heads-their clothes of most joyous colours- "The world is so full of such beautiful things, I am sure we should all be as happy as kings."
"From Edinburgh to India & Burmah"
William G. Burn Murdoch
As we came back the darkness was falling and there were fires in most of the houses on Trays of earth and the light shone through the bamboo walls, and we could see figures sitting beside them, either for warmth or possibly to get away from mosquitoes.

Here the metal workers pounded their sheets of brass and copper, building up handsome patterns upon future Trays and waste baskets and lanterns.
