This photo shows a woman in a hooded cloak, holding a small metal pot. Her face is calm, with a soft glow around her head. Behind her, three crosses stand on a hill, and a distant city sits below. The pot she holds is likely a *salvekrukken*—a traditional Norwegian healing vessel. These were used in folk medicine, often blessed for protection.
