Sarakatsani Apron (Greece)
The British Museum in London houses a woman's apron from among the Sarakatsani (originally a nomadic group) in northern Greece. Locally called a podia, this example is 36 cm long and made of wool with cross stitch, cotton-thread embroidery, rik-rak and metal thread decoration. The apron is dated to sometime between 1925 and 1950.
