It takes skill and patience to make these things. European skill, Western patience. Portuguese silver hallmarks, of around 1900.
The guy laying in the litter is a bit damaged but, still acts as a serious patient . PS Lousy pictures; will have to improve them . . Last edited by fernando; 24th November 2018 at 04:59 PM. |

A Hammock, that is ...
What i didn't know was that this apparatus was easily identifiable.
Originated in one of the three systems to carry disabled and wealthy people in the steep paths of Portuguese Madeira (Island); now an entertainment for tourists. . |
