Cylindrical milk pail for milking mares. It is made from one piece of birch bark fixed at the joint of edges. On the pail’s outside along the periphery, to add strength, rims are sewn on with horse hair. Attached to the middle ring of the top rim is a horse hair rope serving as a handle. Abstract by V.V.
