Description of the content The ‘fole’ is an object, which despite being almost unknown today, was a common item in the daily rural life of São Lourenço da Montaria (Portugal). It served for transporting cereal in the old subsistence farms. The acquisition of a ‘fole’ for the Museum of Ethnography of Viana do Castelo within the ambit of the research carried out on mills of Montaria, served as a pretext for recording the whole process – with its local knowledge and specific practices.
