I'm trying to figure out what she's doing. . . Can't really tell!

She puts the seeds on the stone "plate" and then puts the turning rock on top (the one with the little handle she's holding). She just keeps turning it round and around and it grinds the seeds. The oil runs out the front spout area into the bowl that's only just visible at the bottom. It's kind of hard to see now that I look but that stone plate has a little lip that's open at the front and the slope of the plate lets the oil flow.
