Summary

[edit]
Description This is an Albanian women's guibba or coat. It might date to the period around 1800 to 1850. This coat is a maroon velvet surcoat which is heavily ornamented with gold. This woman's coat has a fitted bodice and a full, calf-length skirt. The bodice and skirt are almost entirely covered with scrollwork embroidery, worked with metallic gold cord and metallic gold thread, except for a plain panel on each side of the bodice front and at the center of the bodice back. The garment, which is very stiff and heavy, is entirely interlined with animal skin, which supports the weight of the metallic embroidery. The coat today forms part of the permanent collection of the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, Canada, where its museum catalogue number is 1185/1.
