Vintage set of playing cards depicting Jewish women’s folk costumes from around the world. The countries, fro right to left, are as follows:

First row: Turkey, Bulgaria, Hodu (India), Yazan (Wiesen; could be Switzerland, Austria, or Bavaria, apparently)

Second row: Hungaria, Holland, Turkmenistan, Israel

Third row: Russia, Serbia (fun fact: for a second I misread it as Siberia), Teiman (Yemen), Italy

Fourth row: Poland, (This one I can’t entirely read, but I think it says Paras, or Persia. Interestingly, it looks more like Uzbek clothing), Kavkaz (the Caucasus), Romania

A Hanukkah present for some dear friends celebrating a new house and an adorable new baby… The text is Birkat haBayit (the blessing for the home), the blessing for daughters, and the family’s names. Their girl’s name is Orli - “my light” - and I hope she continues to bring light into the world! ✨

I love this so much. @yiddishthetic
