1.75 Moldovan Leu - Elements of National Costume (Beginning of XX Century)
11.00 Moldovan Leu - Elements of National Costume (1925)
On June 24, 2015 the Post of Moldova has released a beautiful series (2 stamps) dedicated to one of the female national costume elements, the traditional blouse called "ie".
These two stamps (print run : 250,000 each), designed by Alexandr Kornienko, are included on the official FDC below (design: Maria Maximenco, print run : 300) with a cancellation from Chisinau (Office No. 9).
To note the FDC postmark, featuring some embroidery elements of this blouse, as well as the other two cachets, a conventional hand postmark (with a blue ink) and a special cancellation mentioning that June 24 is celebrated as the Universal Day of that blouse ("Ziua universală a iei") !
I guess that this Universal Day is also celebrated in neighboring Romania since this type of blouse is also popular in this country.
The two examples of "ie" blouses depicted on these two stamps respectively date from the early 20th century (L 1,75) and 1925 (L 11).
This element of the Moldovan national costume is very old and also similar to the existing blouses in some Slavic countries (Serbia, Bulgaria...).
This blouse, on white background, is made up of three parts including more or less elaborate embroidery (altiţă, increţ and râuri).
