Woman's blouse. The 3 component parts – the sleeves, front and back - are all gathered at the neck, “brezarau”. The cuffs are also gathered. Made of hand-woven linen and cotton cloth. The rich decoration follows the 3 traditional elements: the altitza (upper sleeve part) with horizontal ornamental bands on the shoulder, a monocolour “curl” separating the altitza from the rest of the sleeve decoration. The embroidery technique is “across the threads’’ and in wavy point on the altitza. Colours: white, red, black, gold and silver coloured thread and beads.
