Gloves
Not on view
The bright pink of these knitted gloves denotes the use of synthetic dye. The dense embroidery and applique includes multiple images of the goddess figure and patterning that is evocative in shape of the protective eye common to many cultures. It is important to note that while this object is identified as being from Yugoslavia, that entity in the Balkan region did not exist until after World War I--first as the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, then, after 1929, as Yugoslavia (“land of south Slavs").
