The picture shows a casket with a cross in a village graveyard. The tomb is made of boards in the form of a roofed four-wall crib. The roof is V-shaped. The end wall has a rectangular opening. On the roof ridge is a wooden cross. Mounted on the middle crossbeam of the cross are an icon and patches of fabric. The drawing is a unique one. Abstract by L.V. Korolkova
