About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a red woven flag hanging in a wooden church. The flag has white threads and gold fringe. The room is simple, with wooden walls and benches. The photo comes from a 1982 study of village weddings in Romania. It records traditional crafts before they faded. The flag likely dates to 1821, matching the church’s age.
