1971 Sorbische Tanztrachten 10ddr: Tanztracht aus Schleife

Translation of text on stamp:

Top: Sorbian Dance Costume (in German)

Left (from top to bottom): DDR 10

Right: Scleife

Bottom: currently needing translation from Sorbian

The distinct traditional dress styles in the various regions of the Sorbian people have been a curiosity for travelers over time. As the culture overall has reduced overtime through germanization and a general decline in numbers, the traditional dress has remained steadfast in the culture.
