Estonia - Folk Costumes 2001


2001 Folk Costumes - Viljandy County - Paistu & Tarvastu.

Some extremely old traits and archaic ways of ornamentation survive in Mulk folk costumes. The folk costumes of Paistu and Tarvastu are rather similar. For both men and women, the festive clothing was a long woolen black coat abundantly decorated with bright cord and patches of bright cloth. Fur coats were also very beautiful.
The girl on the Paistu stamp wears a splendid fur coat decorated with coloured straps and strips of polecat fur.
The Tarvastu stamp features a man wearing a festive long coat and tall felt hat, playing a six-string zither.
