Function
The main function of a keychain is to serve as an accessory to organize and keep keys together, making them easier to carry and preventing them from getting lost. In this case, it is a small and inexpensive version of the cunqueira craft that allows visitors to take home a sample without spending too much. The keychain is a miniature cimbreira, made in a single piece, so that the lid and the bowl do not separate.
Creation Purpose
To keep at home or for sale
Conecept
Artistic exploration of other uses and variations of the tixela within the logic of the traditional craft itself.
