songs-of-the-east: Parta headdress from Veľký Lom, Slovakia. “This unique “parta” from Veľký Lom has been worn for approximately 300 years until the 60s. In that period only 14-15 year old girls, which were usually brides wore it. It was made from 40 centimeter long, multi-colored embroidered ribbons, shiny decorations called “blyskáče” and pearls. The base of the “parta” consisted of wood coated canvas. The hairstyle worn under the “parta” was allegedly called “na mazničke” which meant the path to the sides. The “parta” from Veľký Lom is distinctive from the others in Slovakia.” Content Source: https://www.celesteprize.com/artwork/ido:424507/ -- source link
