it’s a rotary grater – you screw it on to the side of a table or bench and then it cranks with a handle round and round while the “blade” part makes short work of the coconut. A friend bought it for my parents, possibly in the market in Chaguanas, but I’m not sure…somewhere in Trinidad there might be more.
