Annotation
Samuil Lukich Yelizarov are sharpening a hunchback scythe on sharpening “legs.” The woman is wearing a chemise and a skirt girt with a belt. The set with a skirt as traditional clothing was not typical for Pomorye. However skirts were used as work clothes in some areas. The woman has a povoinik on her head. Abstract by O.G. Baranova
