sheaves
Tied wheat stacks
Sheaves is the plural of sheaf—a bundle of grain stalks bound together after reaping, or by extension, any bundle of similar items gathered together: sheaves of wheat, sheaves of paper, sheaves of arrows.
The word appears often in biblical and pastoral contexts: They brought in the sheaves from the field.
