The candy also had luggage
A metal box connected the work to the parties.

The metal box L 104, of Joaquina Basto, of Arosa, Cavez, carried sweets for parties. Media 88 cm long, 45,5 height and 43,5 width.
The measurements help imagine the backstage of the party; the inventory does not identify the content of each trip or the weight charged.
The number L 104 allows you to recognize this box in the inventory and distinguish it from other containers. The chart associates a name, a location, a material and a function. Instead of showing only the ready candy, this object draws attention to the transport that the party required.
Compares its length to its height: the box was much longer than high. You can draw a scale rectangle to imagine the space occupied, without deducing how many sweets it took. The inventory records external dimensions, not a useful capacity or a weight.
