DescriptionPart of a woman's wedding kroj, a white brocade vest with large, gold and silver flowers that are surrounded by bright green leaves. Dark purple, dark salmon, dark mauve, and orange flowers are also around the larger flowers. Most of the vest is covered with ruffled ribbons and cording. Lines of beading lie amongst the ribbons on the vest's back side. Sequins and small flowers made of tiny blue beads run along the bottom edge. The sequins continue up either side of the front opening and one button lies at each bottom corner.Credit LineGift of Eileen and the late Josef Mandát of Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
