Sbornik

Vologda Gubernia. 19th century


These types of headdress — known as sbornik, morkhatka or shamshura in the North — were usually richly adorned with gold embroidery and mother of pearl, but never with gold fringes. This was probably the idea of antique dealers or collectors, to “decorate” them.
