The Movable Heritage of Drăghia

A remarkable collection of over 300-year-old movable heritage from Drăghia village, Maramureș County, has been preserved through the dedication of local custodians. This study highlights the significance of ritual objects such as icons, paintings adorned with decorative towels, religious books, royal doors, banners, thuribles, choir pews, church bells, and priest robes, all housed in a 1706 wooden church now serving as a museum. Additionally, everyday items like shirts, towels, benches, and other objects retained out of ancestral respect are documented, with the Radu family's personal museum showcasing an impressive assemblage. The research underscores the enduring cultural value of these artifacts, offering insights into their historical and decorative importance within the village.
