New ethnographic exhibits included in the National Museum of Azerbaijan History

Newly included exhibits in the National Museum of Azerbaijan History are a copper jug and a bronz pestle of historical importance.

A copper jug is an evidence of welfare in the past, reflecting the culture of our people. Being used in the past as a water pot, a copper jug has a high artistic design. Usually pots designed in this style have been included in the bride's dowry.

Another pot belonging to the collection of the Museum is a bronze pestle. Extensive use of spices in welfare was creating a need for pestles. Therefore, in most families would come across such pestles.
