content: Latticework of wooden slats, incised with small circles. The wood is notched to make 8-pointed stars in the negative space between slats. Slightly rusty tin discs attached where the wood pieces meet. The donor says this is made from hardwood and faux "bosses" made of sheet tin. She says used window grilles are impossible to collect, since they are cast into the earthen wall as it is erected, so she commissioned this one from a local blacksmith. The wood had to be "imported" from further south.
