The translation problem was a machine that has genuinely changed the harvest: the combine, which now works the field beside the old hand-threshing rather than instead of it. A scatter-village layout set the combine at the centre as one anchor — a flat-filled green-and-yellow folk panel with an outlined cutter reel and grain spout, planted in a field of tall vertical crop strokes — while women carrying sheaves and threshing by hand work the same field to its right. Drawing the machine in the same confident outline as the bullock and the people keeps it honest: it is a tool in the harvest, not a gag tech-icon dropped onto a folk wall. The deity riders above and the winnowing at the base hold the whole agrarian cycle around it.
