Bridal costume. Keles, Bursa / Turkey. Antwerpen Museum of Ethnography

Posted by Jean-Marie Criel on March 2, 2016 at 2:22pm

Close-up of a bridal costume from northwestern Anatolia (Bursa province, Keles district, Karakeçeli Yörük ethnic group), with a lot of jewelry: a large headscarf covered with metal sequins, the beadwork cap and 'gerdanlık'/choker necklace, silver chest ornament, garment clasps & large belt buckles, and a pink 'kese'/purse with beadwork pendant. The small 'garment clasps' are sewed to the red vest; such ornaments can be purely decorative (as are these ones), or can have a 'hook & eyelet'-system, which make the clasps functional. (Antwerpen Museum of Ethnography, Belgium).
