noun

Un cubo pequeño, lata o cucharón con el asa en el lateral

A small pail, can or ladle with the handle on the side; a lading-can. In the colonial era, some buckets were made like a small barrel, but with one stave left extra long. This stave would be carved into a handle so the bucket could be used as an oversized scoop for scattering grain, slopping the hogs, etc.

Examples :

"My grandfather keeps a rusty old pigging in the barn to scoop chicken feed from the large sacks. "

Mi abuelo guarda un cubo viejo y oxidado en el granero para sacar el alimento para pollos de los sacos grandes.
