Portrait of old woman in popular port of work. The enlarged women and the elderly bear their heads covered: over the hair is put the “conciul” (wooden circle or interwoven wool, wrapped in cloth that the women bred on the head crest, under the fairy tale) caught as two slightly marked horns. Over this conch is put a wiper (foliage) of cloth with picks at the ends. From the old woman’s harbor is also part: the shirt, the black, the foothills. The shirt is wrinkled at the neck and is manicured at the collar, chests and sleeves. A corner of the cathedral is raised to make walking easier. The old woman has in each hand one of a carp (cylindrical shaped vessel made of fir, with a flock, in which the water is kept for drinking). The woman moves on a communal road bordered by the annexes of a household.
