EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a fantastic female costume from the village of Pyrgi on the Island of Chios, Greece, dating back to approximately 1906. The Island of Chios, located in the Aegean Sea, is renowned for its rich history and unique cultural traditions, particularly in its folk attire. The woman in the photograph is adorned in an unusual and striking tabard, featuring intricate embroidery in bold geometric patterns and vibrant colors. The tabard, which is a type of sleeveless jacket, is worn over a long, flowing skirt. The headdress and hat she wears are equally impressive, with the headdress adorned with multiple layers of intricately woven fabric and beads, and the hat boasting a tall, conical shape with a decorative band. The village of Pyrgi, located on the northern part of the island, is famous for its distinctive black and white houses and its unique folk art. The black houses are adorned with intricate white geometric patterns, known as "xysta," which are created using a technique called "sfregato." This same geometric design is also reflected in the embroidery on the costume in the photograph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and traditions of the Island of Chios and the village of Pyrgi. The fantastic costume is a testament to the creativity and skill of the local artisans, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
