The finding of the white horse, Szemel, in 1996, was one of sources of the idea of the fieldwork project. In the exhibition Szemel is presented somewhat fancifully: he wears the mask of king Purim, by Marijka, and his white hands, which hold the clarinet, are the true copies of Mutka's palms. The clarinet itself is a particular antique, it is the first clarinet of Mutka, given to her in the mid-eighties by Feliks Leszczyński, the bandmaster from Olsztyn.
