Containing detailed maps, colorful photos and instructive pattern illustrations, this text provides an in-depth and very comprehensive researched document of traditional Norwegian costume (bunad) concentrating on headdresses, some of which are continuously worn by women and brides today. Lad is the headdress for the unmarried woman and the Crown is the head-dress worn at a wedding by the bride. This publication is the result of decades of field work in all areas of Norway and extensive research of the distinctive headdresses and bridal dresses including crowns of the people of Norway.
