Description: 
Sarka, women’s short long-sleeved jacket made of black felt, with sewn-on decoration. The chest has a deep oval opening, which becomes straight at its lower part. Around the opening of the chest, all around the bottom edge and at the edges of the sleeves, there is a sewn-on decorative band of twisted cord and golden thread, which form continuous spirals of stylised floral motifs with a chain-like finish.
