IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE ŠAVRINKE

AUNT JUCA RENA JANDRA

“Look at her face. Why is this photograph so precious today?”

Marija Kontestabile, known in the village as Juca Rena or Šarčina, was among the last women in Krkavče who still wore the traditional traditional dress. Precisely for this reason, she was captured on camera in the 1950s by a museum field research team. Today, her image stands as an essential visual memory of Krkavče’s bygone world.
