About the Item

This charming Mid-Century scene, in a sauna, depicts two nude figures in a moment of cleansing during the Fasting Month, or "Paastu Kuu." Each figure is shown with switches of silver birch, which are used to gently beat the skin and relax the muscles. The sauna tradition, strongly associated with Finland, is also popular in Estonia, where this dish was made in the 1950s.
