What happens here
A group of people are gathered, actively engaged in processing an animal hide. They are using two sticks to twist and wring out water from the hide, which has been previously treated. The process involves multiple individuals working together to apply leverage and squeeze out the moisture. This is a crucial step to ensure the hide dries properly and can absorb the tanning solution effectively. It's mentioned that the hide needs to be slightly dry before applying the oil.
Goal: Remove excess water from an animal hide to prepare it for tanning.
