A kneading trough with traditional decoration (Edgars and Zigrīda Švinka)

This wooden kneading trough was made by Edgars Švinka for his wife Zigrīda after they arrived in Adelaide, Australia. Zigrīda used the trough for many years, when baking rye bread. The trough was donated to the museum by Edgars and Zigrīda’s daughter, Rasma Lācis.
