This clue could be a double definition.

'rags' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.

'bones' is the second definition.
(rib is a kind of bone)

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ribs that I've seen before include "Makes fun of - bones" , "Spurs?" , "Arched bones in the upper body" , "Curved bones around the chest" , "Chest bones, tasty when spare" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
