In the image of the branch - household annex. The construction is fenced with a wooden uluci fence composed of pillars buried in the ground about 50 cm on which are attached two rows of lefts to which they have caught, vertically the carved uluces at the upper end in the shape of an arrow. Made in the technique “Blockbau” - the technique of horizontal beams, the annex has walls on two sides, at the facade resting on a wooden hair on the right. It includes pig cocina and shura. The very high roof, in four waters, which allows the water to drain quickly, has straw cover, forked and trampled with the foot. The ends of the rib are guarded by “pips.” Next to the sling is a sherd, a tool for sharpening tools, consisting of a circular stone, fixed in a shaft with a handle, supported on a peasant. A “quotiga” is summarized by the cocina - part of a wooden plow. Next to the saddle, on the left side, is a construction of vertical boards with a roof in a water (probably latrine).
