Description
Μπόλια, μακρύτατη ολομέταξη εσάρπα με ενυφασμένες χρυσές ρίγες και χρυσή κροσωτή απόληξη. Κατά μήκος της μιας μακριάς πλευράς της φέρει επίρραπτη διακόσμηση με χρυσή δαντέλα του εμπορίου. Στις άκρες της, σε οριζόντια διάταξη, η ενυφασμένη διακόσμηση γίνεται με δέσμες από λεπτές και πιο πλατιές ρίγες. Στο τελείωμά της, γαρνίρισμα με χρυσή δαντέλα με το βελονάκι με γεωμετρικό διάκοσμο και κροσωτή απόληξη.
