So in a sense this big brooch really is a shield. I have also read that in olden times bigger brooches were worn by women who were still in their childbearing years.teodorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487582158024232551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-40474819007716475032013-06-19T12:29:04.547-05:002013-06-19T12:29:04.547-05:00The young girls start to collect their traditional...The young girls start to collect their traditional jewlelry, and little by little more coins and chains are added. I have a very modest, modern necklace with two chains and a row of coins inserted between. The coin are russian kopeks. Its nice to wear with a black turtle neck pullower. :)katakoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523841130764854364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-35122912410078521612013-06-08T19:51:40.464-05:002013-06-08T19:51:40.464-05:00Thank you for your question.

This type of pin is very ancient, and is used throughout the Baltic and Fenno-Scandian region. It just so happens that in Setomaa the brooch became greatly enlarged as a vagary of fashion. Similar brooches from the early 19th cent are not quite as large. Si;ver jewelry, especially necklaces with hollow silver beads are a very old Finnic tradition, but again the Seto have taken this and gone to an extreme with it [although not as far as some other local traditions, such as la Alberca in Spain] The large brooch is often commented upon, but I have no explanation as to why it occurred in any of my sources.

The colors are extra beautiful against the dark green of the trees, and the blue/white of the sky!<br /><br />I would like to know more about the chain necklaces, the coins (antique? contemporary?), and especially the large domed breastplate. The breastplate seems to suggest a shield as might have been used in warfare, and the fact that the women wear it, instead of the men, is especially interesting. I'm especially interested in metal jewelry of both European and non-European societies and while coin jewelry is not unknown in smaller traditional cultures, surely the massive silver chains are.

I did not visit Värska for Jüripäev - St Georges day - this year, but I have been there many times. The 22d picture from top: The lady to the left is Veera, a master craftswoman and singer of ancient Seto "leelo" songs.<br /><br />Pay attention to the crochet edges of the red embroidered pieces. The multi color crochet is also typical for the region. <br /><br />The woman in the last picture is preparing for a traditional family picnic - at the local graveyard! The family meets after church and eat and drink near their beloved ancestors. The clergy participates too, a prayer, a song (Eternal memory) and then everybody eats delicious pastries, sandwiches, salt or smoked fish, boiled egs, and different sweets, drink coffee and perhaps a little vodka. They tell stories about and memories of the deceased. The belief is (or was) that everything you eat and drink by the grave is food for the dead.<br /><br />Wach this exellent video about Seto singign:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSXcYph-ODckatakoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523841130764854364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790425923241370525.post-60059099526570000852013-06-02T11:53:41.752-05:002013-06-02T11:53:41.752-05:00just found this great blog while searching for pro...just found this great blog while searching for provencale folk costumes.<br />you are doing a very good job here!<br />i´m sure i visit you every time i need some beautiful inspiration.<br />bahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.com
