Extensive Definition
Paška čipka, a type of lacework from the Island of
Pag, requires a
needle, thread and backing which is a round or square hard stuffed
pillow.
Lace-makers of Pag did their teg (work) without
any drawings. Each woman used works from her mother and
grandmothers as examples, each adding a personal touch, something
unique and special. Each lace piece is a symbol of the anonymous,
modest and self-sacrificing life of its maker.
