Faydılay Making Bread, Mount Ararat             2004

(photograph available)

The large multiple-peaked black tents, gon-e-mazen, are the centers of communal activity at zozan.  Smaller canvas tents serve as bedrooms.  Bread is cooked within the tent's stacked rock wall, but out from under the coarsely-woven tent itself, to allow the smoke from tesek, dried dung, to escape.
