    any ordinary barrel. It is about thirty years old. The parts are the stand, the barrel, the handles, the cover, and the "spekid". The butter is made once a week. The barrel is by women. If a stranger comes into the house while the barrel is being made he is expected to help. It takes about a half an hour to do the work. It is done by hand.
