This copper bucket was found in Amcorp Mall, Kuala Lumpur. Traditionally it was used by Tamil community to carry sweet items called "palagaram" to relatives' or friends' house. This is a medium sized bucket and it comes in various sizes. It was made from copper that was impossible for the people back then to buy it as it costs a lot.
Now most buckets are made from stainless steel.
