EXHIBITION GUIDE 33. GABLES The gables on the small grass field beside the Hencz Mill are illustrative of the talent and the rich design of the bútorfestő asztalosok ('painting carpenters'). The thatched houses themselves could not be saved but their beautiful gables form a splendid gable collection here. 34. CROSS BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD The body of the cross is decorated with carving. The Christ figure and also Maria's figure, standing under a roof with tin decorations, are sculptured from wood. Crosses were often set up by the roads in order to give hope for the travellers and to remind them that a man is never alone.
