The highlighted area represents the stonghold of Decebal, the last king
of Ancient Dacia, just before Dacia became part of the Roman Empire
around 100A.D. Also, in this highlighted region (SW Sibiu, Valea Bistrei,
Hateg, Orastie, Padureni, Tara Motilor,) the Romanian Folk Costumes
retain some very old features: predilection for black and white; modest
amount of embroidery; shipskin vests; caps (part of a woman head-cover,)
and fringes (on aprons, coats, veils.) Fringes are considered a primitive
feature..

2 Aprons,
Either mostly black
or red & black horizontal stripes.
Sheepskin vest.
Notice the "connecting" elements: back aprons are narrow with
horizontal lines, just as in Central (Sibiu) or North (Somes) parts
of Transylvania, while the front aprons are wider, but not as wide as
those in "Tisa". |
