‘Etnografisch Museum, Antwerpen’: the bridal costume from Bursa/Keles, with the garment clasp sewed on the lower corners of the red vest.

I just noticed that the clasps were misplaced by the Antwerpen Ethnographical Museum, both in the picture presenting the object, as on the full costume (I took both pictures from the Museum site). The plaque on the left should be on the right, and vice versa. The third glass paste stone should be in the middle; it hides also the hook, that is used to close the clasps (if necessary).
