<dc:title>Traditional women belt</dc:title>
<dc:description>One of the most important manifestations of traditional culture, the result of the creative effort of a whole community and a real brand
of identity, is the traditional/popular costume. In Maramures, the most important piece of clothing and the element that establishes the genesis of the Romanian folk costume is the shirt, which synthesizes the most traditional elements and, at the same time,
the most numerous artistic elements of ornamentation. For both man and women the belt is a defining part of the shirt, that beyond its functionality, simbolizes the magic protective circle. The women belt that in some areas of Maramures can have a length up to 4 meters it secures both the shirt and the skirt and protects the ones whom wears it from evil, ensuring prosperity and fertility. </dc:description>
