**Dowry chest**

1893, Rudawa, Poland

A painted wooden chest in a Skawina style. Painting techniques and ornamentation types were passed on from generation to generation. Sometimes, carpenters were not the creators of the painting decorations but their wives or daughters.

The dowry chest was an element of traditional equipment of a bride which she brought to a new household. They were usually placed opposite the entrance, in a visible place. A large painted chest was something to be proud of. After some time, they were moved to a less visible place.

**Painted folk cupboard**

2nd half of the 19th century, Rudawa, Poland

Cupboards were usually made by a local carpenter upon commission and their possession was indicative of its owner’s wealth. This furniture was used until July 1966 when it was purchased by the museum from Józef Mucha from Rudawa.

The interior of the adjustment with a shelf is painted dark blue and the background is also decorated with yellow and red stars.

小皮埃爾·勒格羅創作的《聖多馬》雕像（約1703–1711年）位於羅馬拉特朗聖若望大殿。該雕像是教皇克萊門特十一世為填補博羅米尼設計的十二使徒壁龕而委託製作的大型系列之一，由葡萄牙國王彼得二世贊助。勒格羅是唯一未完全遵循官方設計指南的雕塑家，其最初的巴羅克風格陶土模型情感強烈，但未被採納。最終的大理石像風格更為古典克制：聖多馬手持木工角尺，衣褶規整，其著名的手指從壁龕伸出指向祭壇，象徵在信仰旅程中對懷疑的超越

The Statue of St Thomas by Pierre Le Gros the Younger (c. 1703–1711) resides in the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. It was part of Pope Clement XI's project to fill Borromini's niches with twelve colossal apostle statues, sponsored by King Peter II of Portugal. Le Gros was the only sculptor who successfully refused to work from the prescribed drawings by Carlo Maratta. His initial, highly emotional Baroque terracotta model was rejected. The final marble statue is more restrained: St Thomas holds a carpenter's square, with ordered drapery. His distinctive finger protrudes from the niche, pointing toward the altar, symbolizing moving beyond doubt on the path of faith.

Port Glasgow born Harry ‘Chippy’ McNish was the carpenter on Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917. He modified the lifeboat ‘James Caird’ enabling Shackleton and five crew, including McNish, to sail 800 miles over open seas for help. The modifications played an essential part in the rescue of the entire crew but sometimes forgotten in the retelling of this great adventure.

An old fence made haphazardly, perhaps the guy who made it was'nt a carpenter, but it work.

on more of a serious note: this is a model of an old fence that is made to look like it was made from scrap wood a very long time ago (hence the rusty nails and mossy wood) it not made too look good, it made to be functional. and its tileable
