Men’s traditional garments from Hațeg Country, simple and practical, differ from women’s traditional garments by the sobriety of the decoration, its harmony being owed to the used materials. The cloth woven in-house from which the shirts were made, the chenilles applied to the corsage form a unitary, balanced and elegant ensemble. The negative on glass made by Romulus Vuia, in 1922, in Clopotiva

The “horned” combing of the women from Hațeg Country was an element of social differentiation in women’s traditional costume, giving it a special note. The young married woman in the image made by Romulus Vuia, in 1912, in Răchitova village, Hunedoara county, seen from the profile, has her hair combed with a middle path. On each side of the head, the hair is twisted into 6 thin strands (“twists

“Ceapsa” (a small bonnet or cap made of white cloth) is a component part of the headdress, worn by married women in some areas of Transylvania and Banat.
