MZ.2026.6.1

An old black-and-white photograph: an elderly man in a flat cap, with a moustache and a suit, stands in front of a two-storey mud-plastered house. Someone sits on the threshold of the door behind him; long boards lean against the wall and a line runs from the roof. — Zeynep Oktay's text opens with this photograph: “Yukarıdaki fotoğrafta Yusuf Ağa Dede Çekibaba’yı selamlarken güne ‘Merhaba’ diyor gibi.” (In the photograph above, Yusuf Ağa Dede seems to greet Çekibaba and say hello to the day.) The name of the person sitting in the doorway is not known.
