This open edition fine art print, titled Braided Details and Lunar Motif from Romanian Traditional Vest, captures a piece of cultural history. It measures 50 by 70cm, including a 3cm white border around the 47 by 67cm artwork.

Artwork Description

This artwork is inspired by the intricate details of a traditional Romanian sheepskin vest - pieptar (pronounced pyep-tar) from the Banat Mountains region, a masterpiece of early 20th-century artisan skill. The original garment is elaborately decorated with multicolored wool and cotton embroidery, featuring geometric and stylized floral motifs.

This particular piece focuses on the central lunar symbol found on the back of the vest, framed by meticulously braided "ox-eye" details. It is one of two artworks created to honor the stunning craftsmanship of this cultural artifact.

The historical and ethnographic details of the original vest were provided by ethnologist and PhD candidate Alexandra Negrilă.
