The caption for this illustration reads: The old woman was absorbed in playing with the bird. A king had a son and wanted a suitable bride for him. After no luck, the prince decided to kill himself, but a voice told him to find an old woman with gold hair, grab her hair, and take the bird she is holding. The prince does so (as seen here) and the old woman becomes a princess - they marry and live happily. The illustration is from a 1921 book on Serbian myths and legends.
