Annotation
Sevokhi, a curing cult object. This Sevokhi is a little house with a quadrangular base and a V-shaped top part, no front wall, inside the house are two tiny human figures covered with wood shavings. The whole house is covered with long shavings on the sides, which indicates its sacral nature. Made by the shaman’s instruction for a man with sore eyes.
