Description

The tool, a farm wagon, was mainly used to transport materials: materials such as straw, hay, leaves and wood were placed on the wagon bed. Once loaded, the wagon was hitched to the collar of the trailing animal, ready to be moved in the fields or to its destination. It was an essential tool in agricultural work, facilitating the management and transportation of resources needed for rural activity. When not in use, it often found a place in the barn, integrating with the domestic environment of the farm and remaining ready for daily use.
