A very interesting piece from Imotski-Svitnjak on weaving patterns in Imotski region.
The weaving patterns are extremely colorful in the Imotski area. Mostly, a geometric pattern made out of rhomboids, triangles, strips and zig-zags are being used. Each one has its own colour, they are separated, usually by the colours being added according to the principle of contrast (hot-cold, chromatic – achromatic, bright-dark). On the other hand, these patterns are being linked into a unit like a puzzle.

The central composition does not occur as a zig-zag series of lines, they are in a regular rhythm stretchin from the beginning to the end of the surface, and act as a part of an infinite series, which is only “happening” on the surface of this particular fabric.
