Préparation d'un rituel funéraire. Dans la maison d'une femme décédée 40 jours plus tôt, une voisine façonne les pains cérémoniels (colaci) qui garniront l'arbre aux colaci, ici les échelles qui permettront à l'âme de la défunte de quitter sa maison et de monter au ciel, au premier plan : la boule de pâte levée dans le pétrin de bois monoxyle. Straja (Bucovine)- Roumanie.
