They lived in cities such as Dubrovnik, and specialised in gilding and filigree.  \r\n\r\nIn the 19th century Dalmatia was a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  It stretched from Trieste (now in Italy) to the borders of modern Albania.  The traditional jewellery shows traces of the many cultures which influenced the region.  On the coast, which had never been part of the Ottoman Empire, the women used elaborate filigree hair pins, like those worn in northern Italy, when wearing traditional costume.   \r\n     \r\nDalmatian filigree hairpins are usually very large and heavy, compared to those from elsewhere in Europe.  They often have a band of decorative wire round the middle, which is rare for Italian hair pins.  These pins are marked with Austro-Hungarian silver marks for the period 1872-1922.  The town mark is indistinct, but may be that of Trieste.","physicalDescription":"Pair of hair pins with a large spherical filigree head decorated with granules and discs, with a band of braided wire round the centre.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"}],"techniques":[{"text":"filigree","id":"x35885"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver filigree","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Traditional jewellery (Europe)","id":"THES270343"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006BJ5098","2006BJ5101","2006BJ5100","2006BJ5099"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91M (VA)","id":"THES49137"},"free":"","case":"77","shelf":"D","box":"4"},{"current":{"text":"91M (VA)","id":"THES49137"},"free":"","case":"77","shelf":"D","box":"4"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Pin","id":""}],[{"text":"Pin","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Dalmatia","id":"x36493"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1872-1922","earliest":"1872-01-01","latest":"1922-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by B.
