The cradle was a box with two metal sieves, and it was used to mine alluvial, or surface, gold. One person shovelled dirt into the cradle, another poured in water, and a third rocked the cradle from side to side, sieving mud down through the levels. The cradle, whose origins stretch back to Byzantine culture, originally came to Hungary via contact with Turkic peoples. Though historically one of the first articles of furniture to grace Hungarian homes, the earliest rocking specimens date to only the 13th century.
