Audia Household, early 19th century
Brought to the museum in 1957 near the Ceahlău Massif, the household of the village Teodor Bălănescu from Audia is made up of the living house and the "breast" stable (hay bridge built in the console), being surrounded by a fence from "Cepi" (branches) of fir. In the area, the main occupations were the "butinitis" (work in the forest), the breeding of animals and fishing. The owners of the house were raised, free people with some prosperity mirrored in the dimensions and inventory of rooms and storage spaces.
The house with five rooms, built of round fir beams, is surrounded by an open pillar with beautifully shaped pillars and has at the entrance a leaf with puffed railing, located asymmetrically over the access to the stone built. The roof in four slopes, which also follows the line of the bead, is wrapped with long dranite in two layers, the upper layer, notched in the form of a saw tooth, generating a decorative effect.
The inventory of the house reminds of the owners' duties: the trap illustrates the concern for hunting; ostia, mreaja and baskets in the nieces - fishing; Wooden vessels and utensils are linked to the shepherd; The press with a simple mechanism used for squeezing honey from honeycomb - bee.
The furniture, made up of beds, dowry crates, high table, high sides reminiscent of jets or church strangers, is decorated with increased geometric motifs and carved with refinement.
