Sample of a Foundi, Attica, Greece
The British Museum in London houses an embroidered but unfinished border for a sleeveless, ankle-length woman's dress (foundi) from Attica, Greece. It dates to the period 1925-1950 and is made of cotton with silk thread embroidery. The grey markings for the embroidery are still visible. The motif is traditional to the region, and called a pomegranate, an upside-down omega or a vase with flowers.
