50th
birthday
and
was
designed
to
be
installed
in
an
apartment,

the

at
either
end
of
the
hall
and
the
folk
art
objects,
or
lares,
placed
along
the
length
of
the

Lares
were
guardian

who
were
believed
to
observe,
protect
and
influence
all
that
happened
within
the
boundaries
of

The
lares

and
were
hung
opposite
the
kitchen,
bedroom,
