Description
"Der Topf auf der Hütte ist der Mutscho sileti = Heilige Brustwarze = Heiliger Obertopf, der den Blitz abhalten und das Weichen des Zaubergeistes verhüten soll." ("The pot on the hut is the Mutscho sileti = Holy nipple = Holy Upper Pot, which shall keep away the lightning and prevent the magic spirit from leaving.") A thatched hut made of loosely set sticks. Two sticks with a pot imposed on their ends are protruding from the roof. A statuette made out of wood and cloth is placed on a timber scaffolding at the side of the hut.
