Pictured artifact:
I am holding a Lithuanian Sash that is worn by males for special
occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries, festivals. (This
is a specific custom particular to Lithuania.) This sash is
hand-woven by a folk-artist from Vilnius, Lithuania- the capital
of the country. (My husband's paternal grandparents came from
this area.) This particular sash is woven with yellow, red
and green threads- the colors of the Lithuanian flag; the
oak leaves that are on this sash are the ancient symbols of
masculinity in Lithuania. Many Lithuanians immigrated to Waukegan,
IL at the turn of the 20th century to work in the steel mills.
