NATIONAL COSTUMES Bela Krajina
The depiction on the stamp shows the wedding-festive costume from
Poljanska dolina ob Kolpi in Bela Krajina from the ? rst half of
the 19th century. Depicted are three nuptial persons; namely, the
leader of the nuptial procession or standard-bearer (»ensign«), the
bride and supposedly the bridesmaid. One of 48 watercolour
paintings of costumes, painted in 1838 by the painter F. K.
Goldenstein for the collection of Emil Korytka
»Słowianśćyzna«, represents the basis of the
depicted motive. The painter depicted all major costume types as
well as some local varieties; they are being archived in the
Slovenian Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana. In 1844, twelve costume
motives, among them also the wedding costume from Poljanska dolina,
were adapted for press and later also published (L. Kordeš)
in the newspaper Carniolia.
Despite the festive appearance and colourful clothing (for
instance, blue women’s jacket, clothing of the
standard-bearer), white linen clothing prevails. Namely, such
clothing was typical for the everyday and festive appearance of
inhabitants of Bela Krajina; to a smaller extent, also in the
period between both world wars. One of the explanations for the
origin of the name Bela Krajina also appeared in connection to
this; however, it remained on a hypothetical level.
