Colonial Choices
churn

ALMA PATT-SHAMIR

I chose it because I think it looks nice and it looked interesting. I think it was used to make butter. I think you put milk in there and then you churn it with a stick. It's related to colonial time-it's from colonial time and you can understand some stuff like how people made butter and if there was butter.
