Shirt 011

The stitching on the cuff of a woman's shirt was made in a strip system. The cuff is richly decorated with flat embroidery consisting of straight lines and zigzags and a floral motif in the form of a rhythmically appearing trefoil. On the cuffs, an extensive pattern consists of several trefoils closed in straight lines with a string and a cross stitch, as well as a broken chain line with dots incorporated between them. Between the trefoils, flowers appear from concentrically arranged dots, imitating a dandelion.
Ornaments characteristic of the northern part of the Lasowiak region.
