A wooden earth closet. The front is painted pale blue, with two latched doors. The top is unpainted, with two, circular holes to sit on.
A reminder of how much I appreciate modern sanitation. This bad boy was in use as a public loo until...1980!
It's an earth closet, so you did the business then covered it with a layer of earth (ideally good loamy soil, but anything to hand). Then it was taken outside.
