The first was presented by Mrs. L. Tuck Powell, and consists mainly of embroidered items of Jugoslavian costume collected some years ago by the donor, with the help of the late Dr. Berger, Curator of the well-known Peasant Art Museum at Zagreb. Among the pieces from Croatia are two girls’ caps from the neighbourhood of the capital, embroidered in silks on coarsely woven cotton and with bobbin lace fringes, as well as some of the more brightly coloured aprons which are still worn on special occasions. Croatian blouses and aprons of unbleached  linen with simple patterns woven in thick red and blue cotton are also represented by some 19th century specimens. From the districts of Bosnia, west of Sarajevo, come several of the coarse linen frocks worn by Catholic women; these are embroidered in wool, mainly in cross-stitch in small sprig patterns which are often copied in England today. The Museum collection had previously only included sleeves and fronts from the frocks, which are usually cut up as soon as they reach dealers’ hands. An early 19th century silk- embroidered kerchief-end from Southern Serbia shows two monsters confronted on either side of a plant growing in a pot; such animal motives, no doubt originally derived from Italian embroideries, are naturally rare in the Balkans, where the Muhammadan influence is strong.
