As a surviving sign of the same period, the incense pattern in front of the blue shirt was referred to as the “velvet pattern”. The broom does not transfer bullets into a person’s body, the patterns on the blue shirt keep from the evil gaze, staring at the bride’s face. The cloak was made more by the girls of the ovules who lived by the sea and the river, spending 6-8 years sewing a pattern on a cloak.

One blue shirt was worn by one of the sisters living in the same house, and at some point by one Ovul to the other by giving it to the girls.
