Women and costumes of Naoussa, the end of an era

Abstract

The folk culture within the Greek area, in the same way as the folk art, managed to develop themselves under the status of the long servitude to the Turks quite independently within the community. Still the folk culture portrays the living standard and the cultural level of a closed and quite often isolated community, which has already formulated strict morals and customs by following a specific way of living, which transforms the figures in time in a very slow rhythm.
