| Home of Mykhailo Dmytrovych Koval', informant, performer, and craftsman. As a craftsman, he is trying to revive the art of making woven belts, variously called poias and kraika. They are used as women's belts and are also tied over the swaddling clothes of an infant. Here, examples of his work lie on the couch at his home. The object on the left is not a belt, but a skirt. He made a set of wider belts, then sewed them together to make a skirt.
