- Horse-carriages at the
end of the19th at the beginning of the 20th centuries
were different according to their size, construction
and harnessing in every ethnographical area. You can
see working and holiday carriages for summer and
winter seasons.
- For every day work
Aukstaiciai used carts, sledge, carriages with high
edges for carrying hay, corn, soil, for building
roads. Foresters used horse-carriage “lineika”
called “goats”. In Dzukija holiday horse-carriages
were called “bricka”. They are one-horse with
metal springs.
- Suvalkieciai and
Zemaiciai had light horse-carriages. They are
two-horse, but sometimes they harness only one horse.
Two-horse carriages have low grating and were used for
going to the market or church. Till the middle of the
20th century holiday winter horse-carriages were used
for going to a town, church during family or winter
festivals. They were painted brown, grey green or
black.
