HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND


The above photo shows a traditional handmade utensil called 'cocho', still common in the cork region of Alentejo (south of Lisbon). 
It's carved from cork bark and mainly used by shepherds to drink fresh water from fountains. 
Usually, it's 15 cm long (approximately 5.9 inches).

~~ Have a wonderful weekend ~~
