Physical Description
Description
Τσαπράκι, μαλαμοκαπνισμένο κόσμημα κορμού δουλεμένο με σφυρήλατη τεχνική, με έκτυπο και εγχάρακτο διάκοσμο γεμισμένο με μαύρο σαβάτι. Πρόκειται για κόσμημα του ποιμενικού πληθυσμού των Σαρακατσάνων και παρουσιάζει σχετική τοπικότητα ανάλογα με την περιοχή μετακινήσεών τους. Στην ηπειρώτικη παραλλαγή το τσαπράκι αυτού του τύπου κλείνει την κοντόκαπα, βασικό εξάρτημα της γυναικείας σαρακατσάνικης φορεσιάς. Συναντάται και ως κόσμημα σε όλη τη Θεσπρωτία και το Πωγώνι.
