DescriptionPart of a Medzilaborce kroj, a black velvet vest with red edging around its neck, arms, and down its front opening. A wide band of red fabric decorated with white rick rack forms the bottom edge of the vest. A grouping of three tiny flowers embroidered in red, white, and green threading lies on each shoulder strap. Three rows of multi-colored floral embroidery are stitched on either side of the front opening. Similar floral designs cover the back of the vest, with a guitar body-shaped green and pink design lying just above. This design is surrounded by white stitching.
