The photograph dates from the 1960s and was taken by Domokos Kovács. In the background are Márton Tarisznyás and István Molnár, director of the museum in Cristuru Secuiesc. The shepherds (from Gheorgheni? from Bicaz?) pose in full traditional gear in front of the camera. They were most likely tending a cattle herd, as whips and a horn can also be seen in their hands.
