wood, plant fibre, encrusted sacrificial patina,
“Korobla” appeared at funeral services and above all by night, when witches used to roam the village looking for new victims. The “korobla” should ambuscade them. She is extraordinary fast and in former times she was known for her ability “to spit fire”.
