Traditional Latvian costumes. This one is from Krustpils.
In the border of the sheet we see Līgo Svētki, the Latvian name for the Latvian Summer Solstice celebration. We also see a verse from a Līgo Svētki folk song

Īsa, īsa Jāņu nakts
Par visām naksniņām:
Te satumsa, te uzausa
Pie Jānīša uguntiņas.

translated

Short, short midsummer night
Over all nights:
Here darkened, here as it was
By the midsummer night fires.
