Carved Antique Trough

Antique carved limestone trough. Remnants of white paint on one full side.     
   
A trough is usually a long, narrow, open stone container, usually box-like and most often used to feed or water animals. Troughs can be square, round,     or D-shaped. Larger D-shaped troughs were used in villages with a pump for water.  Many troughs have tethering holes so that animals could be     tied to them.    
   
Stone troughs were hewn or carved from sandstone, limestone, granite, or even marble, usually a local stone.    
Troughs make a wonderful garden planter, can be used as a fountain or water feature, or simply as a naturalistic focal point in the garden. Uniquely     carved no two troughs are ever the same.
