DescriptionThis object is a medium-sized coal scuttle used to transport and pour coal as fuel in small-scale industrial or domestic settings. One half of the object extends significantly farther outwards and has a shallower slope, allowing its contents to be poured easily from this end. A semicircular covered handle is present on the reverse side of the object, further aiding a user in emptying the object's contents. A wire metal handle is present across the top of the object.
