Made in the 60's, this box was used to transport the stands of the Bigastro Musical Union, to the numerous performances in Bigastro and other towns.
Due to the large size and weight, there used to be two musicians in charge of moving the box Once the box was emptied, it was often used as a stage for the director.
Known popularly among musicians as "the box of the Iagartos", the drawer fulfilled its function for decades. It was abandoned and later forgotten in one of the old sites of the Musical Union of Bigastro from where it has now been recovered fifty years on.
PS In case you were wondering, lagarto in Spanish can mean lizard or alligator, scoundrel or even sharp as opposed to lagarta which is a slang word meaning bitch!
