Brownie guardian home

Domovichok Obereg20cm high.
In the typical image of a brownie, all the main, characteristic features of the house owner are combined. He is the oldest and most honorable person in the family of the landlord, to which he belongs in the ascending line, as the forefather (grandfather), who laid the Foundation of the hearth and the Union of relatives gathered under a single roof. Actually the owner of the house, the Supreme administrator of it was recognized as the grandfather-Domovoi; and the real, found in the living, the head of the family was no more than its representative.

From that in Russia, the brownie is directly called the host, the hostess, and even there is a belief that the brownie is always "as if poured into the host of the house" — so similar to it! He usually wears the master's clothes, but always manages to put it back in its place, as soon as it is needed by the largest in the family. In fact, the house is the ideal host, as understood by Russian people: he sees every little thing, constantly fussing and ensure that everything was in order and ready here will help the worker there to correct his mistake; at night, hear him knocking and slams the various crafts; it is pleasant offspring of domestic birds and animals; he does not tolerate unnecessary costs and angry for them, in a word, the house is inclined to labor, laborious and prudent. If he likes housing, then he serves the household and their elder, looks after the entire house and yard "more than the owner's eye", watches over family interests and cares about the property "more than a caring man", protects horses, cows, sheep, goats and pigs.

It is cut out of wood, which he harvested and dried in the village for more than a year and a half, in the old grandfather's way! Domovichok is covered with mordant and waxed (impregnated with natural beeswax with oils) for the best appearance and preservation of its unchanged form!
