The Costamula trunk
Rosettes and suns on a wedding trunk
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.
