Abstract

The paper deals with a wooden device for pressing grapes, which was reconstructed on the newly opened premises of the Ethnographic Museum of Split. The object was acquired in 1961, when it was delivered in pieces from the island of Vis and deposited as such in the Museum storage. In 2004 the object’s restoration as well as reconstruction was done in the place where ground holes for setting up wine-press screws were found. So the parts of the press, which seemed to be just ordinary beams, for decades hidden from the public eye, have finally become properly placed and preserved.
