DŽIDŽA Embroidery

In Džidža’s shop, in the historic centre of Mostar, one can find works of art with embroidery, which are the work of the hardworking hands of the “Šin” Authors’ Group.

The characteristic of srma embroidery is reflected in the fact that the thread used to knit has a very thin shining thread, and the observer has a different experience of the work depending on the light. It can be said that this kind of artistic work changes from morning to evening. Each work requires several months of production and is of great value.

The works have a lot of symbolism and meaning. They often have the form of levha (calligraphic quotations from the Koran) or depict nature.
