Scenes from a village house in the Yunt Dağı.

Yunt Dağı (Yunt Mountains) are a mountain range, located in İzmir and Manisa provinces. They are near the districts of Soma, Kınık, Kırkağaç and Bergama.
The apparatus in the foreground is a traditional plying device (pulling two or more yarns and twisting them together, in the opposite direction from that in which the wool was spun).
