POSUDA ZA UŠUR
Još prije samo pedesetak godina ljudi su na selu većinom sami sijali kukuruz, pšenicu, ječam i druge žitarice, koje bi nakon sušenja nosili u vodenice na mljevenje. Uslugu mljevenja nisu plaćali novcem, već je vodeničar svoj trud naplaćivao uzimajući dio žitarice za sebe (tzv. ušur).
Količina koju je smio uzeti, određivala se posudom u obliku drvenog lonca. Takvu punu posudu smio je uzeti od jednog vagana žitarice.

CONTAINER FOR “UŠUR”
Just fifty years ago, people in the countryside mostly sowed corn, wheat, barley and other cereals by themselves, which they would take to mills for grinding after drying. They did not pay for the grinding service with money, but the miller charged his work by taking part of the cereals for himself (the so-called “ušur”).
The amount he was allowed to take was determined with a container in the form of a wooden pot. He was allowed to take a full container from one “vagan” (61,5 litres) of cereals.
