Glasinac

"Еžder" is the name for a very refined filigree sash, consisting of a set of mobile joint filigree plates. There are two versions of this sash, depending on the shape of these plates: cone sash and butterfly sash. Cone sash had plates of semi-cylindrical shape while the butterfly sash had square or rectangular plates. Whatever the shape, these plates were very richly decorated with filigree. These sashes were buttoned with an opulent filigree buckle in the shape of a bow or a butterfly. With these sashes, women very often wore belenzuka- a semi-open cast bracelet, on one or both hands. They were cast of metal, brass, silver, gold or they were gilded, too. They were made by silversmiths in all towns, with more or fewer ornaments.
