Cloth for olives harvest – Object of the month for April 2024

Cloth for olives harvest

Olive growing, as it is today, has always been one of the main agricultural crops in the parish of Luz.
In this context, this month we are exhibiting an object associated with this theme. It is a cloth, in this case made of thick, rectangular cotton fabric. The cloth was used during olive harvesting, where it was spread around the olive trees, where the olives would fall while the branches were beaten with sticks.
