Sleeved short black vest (saltamarka). It consists of three sections in total: the two central front panels and the larger trapezoid-shaped back panel, which are joined together at the shoulders and sides, below the underarms. The garment has a stand-up collar and a deep vertical opening at the front, on the chest. It is sewn from high-quality fabric, more specifically wool (felt). The collar, the ends of the two vertical front panels of the garment, as well as the perimeter of the vest, are bordered by a decorative garland embroidered with gold, which consists of thin double gold cord and is completed by a fine continuous spiral woven with yellow cotton and gold threads (on the collar, the decorative garland is woven in a way that it creates a linear border). One exception is the ends of the sleeves, which are decorated only with thin gold cord. The lower corners of the two front panels are embellished with two similar, richly embroidered gold vegetal motifs, whose decoration is complemented by gold sequins. Particular attention has also been paid to the seams below the underarms, which are bordered by a thin decorative band sewn with yellow cotton thread. The inside of the vest is lined with yellow cotton fabric richly embellished with vegetal decoration that consists of green leaves of various dimensions. The front panels of the garment have red facing, while the inside of the collar and the ends of the sleeves are covered by wide red bands woven with silk-and-cotton yarn.
