Estonia - Folk Costumes 2003


2003 Folk Costumes of Tartu County - Aksi & Otepaa

The next two stamps from Estonian folk costumes series are devoted to middle 19th century traditional dress from the Southern Tartu County, one featuring an Aksi woman and girl and the other an Otepaa woman, man and girl. Tartu County was rather receptive to various innovations, so the dominating dress in the middle 19th century was quite modern there. Older features included various shoulder wraps and shawls both for daily and Sunday wear. Girls wore a wreath or a headband.
