The MSRM88 gallet, registered as the property of the São Miguel Church of Refojos, is described by the Museum as a metal piece to serve olive oil at the table. The 2016 record distinguishes this function from transporting or measuring. It is an inventory description: it does not confirm the current exhibition of the piece nor allows to reconstruct a concrete meal.
One way to explore the collection is to follow the same product by different tasks: measuring, transporting and serving. The gallet occupies the time to serve; the measures and the bag of olive oil allow to continue the comparison.
