On
3rd September, 2015 sees the first joint
issue between Åland Post and Swiss Post was issued. The two stamps issued
by both posts present glittering silver jewellery embellishing the traditional
folk dresses of the two countries
The Åland shawl
buckle
is a so-called woggle in silver designed by Åland silversmith Viking Sundberg
on the basis of older finds in Åland. The woggle is used to fastening the shawl
and it is used with all Åland female folk dresses. The first Åland folk dresses
appeared in 1908 and all 16 Åland municipalities have their own folk dress
today.
Thank you Ella.
