Context (Display)
Displayed as part of the Spotlight on Stores Move exhibition, with TEMP.01491.3. Caption provided by Milenko Basic Noguera: 'A piece of home in Cambridge. When I joined the project, the team was working on a box of unidentified objects, including this little pumpkin. The moment I heard it was from South America I knew exactly what it was: a mate! You use a cup like and straw this to share yerba mate and have genuine conversations.'
