WEAVERS OF THE WORLD 



A GIRL OF THE HARDANGER REGION, NORWAY 



The people of this part of Scandinavia have to a large extent retained their medieval style of dross. 

 The women wear a black skirt with a long white, deeply embroidered apron and a white waist with a 

 short velvet jacket embroidered in intricate design with brightly colored beads. Married women 

 wear a white cap which almost entirely conceals the hair, and bridal crowns are passed from mother 

 to daughter. These women excel in embroidery and weaving.
