Sender: Pinuccia
My first card showing traditional folk clothing from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Following Sicily and Sardinia, Cyprus is the third largest island in the eastern Mediterranean. The name "Cyprus" comes from the Greek word for copper ( "kypros"). People of both Greek and Turkish heritage live on Cyprus today.
I like these colourful traditional costumes. I have heard of Cyprus Lefkara lacework and embroidery on linen clothing and wonder whether this was used to edge the headscarves, collars and blouses worn by the children.
