Donation: 1961

A wooden, turned salt holder. The letter H is carved in the base, donated by József Hegyi, the “H” is probably referring to him. The holder piece is, for some reason, not circular, but as if it was deformed, asymmetric. It was used in Kerca.

Specialist description: Egy fából készült esztergált sótartó. Talpába H betű van belefaragva, Hegyi József ajándékozta oda, valószínűleg őrá utal. A tartórész valamiért nem köralakú, hanem mintha meg lenne nyomódva, így aszimetrikus. Kercán használták.
