Domestic textiles of Mehedinti (1066 words) |
 | The utensils used throughout Mehedinti are few ones and similar to those from the close areas: shears for the sheep, comb for wool, brake or beater for taking out the stems from the hemp and flax, the wheel for drawing the cocoon silk and the distaff. |
| In the villages of Mehedinti, where the textiles have fulfilled within the interior of the dwelling merely a functional role and much more later a decorative one, each woman worked to meet the demands of her household. |
| Considered as a whole, the domestic textiles from the Mehedinti County are making part and parcel of the family of the pieces characteristic to Oltenia, from which they differentiate themselves through a greater sobriety in the decoration and color. |
