Muhu doors

Farms on Muhu all have their own name, some names even go back to times before family names existed. We still have the habit of calling someone for example Velo of Nuudi, where Nuudi is the name of a farm.
Painting ones doors is an age old tradition on Muhu Island which currently has started its revival. Doors can be very colorful and often combine symmetry with symbols. Natural powers are attributed to these symbols some might for example stop bad spirits from entering ones house.
