This porphyry trough hewn from a stone block with the year 1868 engraved on it used to stand near Hotel Adler and was a place for horses to drink. At four metres in length, it is the largest of some 50 porphyry troughs that used to be in Val Gardena; it has been standing in the museum garden since 1960. It is attributed to the stonemason Scola Petru from Falcade, who founded a stonemason's business in Pontives. 

A stylised depiction of a double eagle in slip decoration, the sign of the cross and the year 1828 adorn a large glazed clay plate. More decorative elements are arranged in concentric circles. Ceramic utensils were typical for Tyrol, and this plate comes from Hof Rescion in Oltretorrente. 

The chair comes from Fischburg castle, with three ornate patterns and rocaille ornaments framing a carved ex-voto adorning the chair back. This shows a man falling, above him a holy figure - probably Mary - and the divine eye. A word is carved next to the scene that could be 'pregato', indicating an ex-voto.

This wooden type of rucksack was laden with carved items to be taken to distributors or annual markets. The shelves on the rear section of the carrier are moveable thanks to straps, while toy horses and goats were placed on the platform at the top for show. Back carriers like this were in use well into the first half of the 19th century.  

This iron saw with turned handle is a sign of hardship amongst some Gröden wood carvers before the First World War. It was used for felling trees to get wood for their products. These wood carvers could not afford to purchase wood with their earnings, and around 2000 trees were 'stolen' each year from local forests in the 1870s and 1880s. 

Trunks for storing the bride's trousseau before the wedding were also common in Gröden well into the 20th century. This unusual wedding trunk is made with arolla pine on the outside and spruce wood on the inside, while on the front there are two large rosette shapes with a sun motif. The year 1566 indicates the year of manufacture or the wedding, the letters I and T show the initials of the owner.
