This bringeklut (bodice panel) from Dalland features a stiffened mesh foundation embroidered with traditional leggjesaum and cross-stitch in red wool, creating a rich backdrop for motifs beaded in white, blue, pink, yellow, and black. Framed by rows of blue beads and delicate cross motifs with striped ribbons on the sides, its iconography can be interpreted as three St. Andrew's crosses inside diamond patterns.
The piece showcases fascinating details, including a kvarde of black ribbon adorned with red and green roses, finished with a row of pink beads at the bottom, a central field of large-patterned blue fabric, and side panels of red star-patterned cotton shared with another bringeklut from the same farmstead. Hand-assembled with a backing of blue woven striped cotton, this stunning piece of traditional handicraft represents one of the roughly 150 unique bringekluts from Tysnes documented in the book "Bringeklutar frå Tysnes".
