| Polina Iakivna Latysh, the mother of Halyna Vasylivna Kapas'. She was an informant on the topics of belief, customs, behavior, etc., although she was not formally interviewed. The folklorist lived at her house and she would deliver information and pronouncements. Here we see examples of material culture: the outfit she is wearing is her warm weather attire. She constantly wears double kerchiefs, even when it is quite warm. This is supposed to help with her headaches. Note also the appearance of the room, the number of decorated items, especially cloth. This room is the bedroom. At one point, five people slept in the three beds.
