Historic Barrels Pack

This pack contains a selection of barrels, buckets, and tubs. Before the late 19th century, when iron became cheap and commonplace, barrels were primarily made with wooden hoops. The wood used for hoops was usually something flexible, such as hazel or willow, and the hoops were bound together with strands of vines or similar materials. Barrels, tubs, and buckets like this would have been commonplace in European societies from the pre-christian Iron Age (at least 200BCE), well in to the late 1800's of the current era. Casks of similar construction methods are attested in Egypt and Babylon all the way back to around 2600BCE, although the specific styles modeled here are not plausible for those time periods or cultures.
