The Alentejo region is usually known for its high temperatures in summer, but also marked in winter by very cold temperatures compared to the center-south and south coast.
In this sense, in the last month of winter we exhibit an object associated with cold weather. A shovel used to collect ashes from the fireplace.
This shovel features a rectangular shape with flaps on the back and sides and a handle.
