Alexandra Sangadzhieva, How to Determine the Gender of an Unborn Child's image
Description: Kalmyks kill a sheep, and take from inside it a gullet-like intestine outgrowth named ul’trkha in Kalmyk in order to determine the gender of an unborn child. This outgrowth is cut open. If its inside wall has swellings, this means that the child will be a boy. If not, a girl.
