The autochthonous population of the Southern Balkan Peninsula who assimilated and integrated the Romanian ethnic elements form the Macedo-Romanian population, nowadays still living in numerous localities in Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro.
          Between the two world wars, as consequence of the agreement between the Romanian state and the other states from the South-Eastern Europe, a part of Macedo-Romanians moved in Dobrudja, in Durostor and Caliacra counties, which presently belong to Bulgaria. In 1940, they left these places to move in Constanta and Tulcea counties.
          The Macedo-Romanians presence in Dobrudja is pointed out, from the perspective of the traditions conservation, by the 670 pieces (woven materials for domestic and ornamental use, folk clothing) belonging to the patrimony of the Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art.  The woven materials, in wool or goat hair, are thick and polychrome.
          The decorative general effect of the woven materials is marked out by the joining of surfaces of great sobriety (claret, black) with light coloured spots (red, yellow, violet, green).
          The Macedo-Romanian traditional clothing is part of the great and diversified category of the Balkan clothing. It is composed, for men and also for women, by numerous and various pieces (chiptare, fustane, canduse, poi, giumidane, sarica, cioariti, parpodzi etc).
          The adornments are made in silver alloy and give shine to the clothing. They are used especially in the women clothing (tasul - a sort of disk applied on the cloth cap, mardzeale - beads, ploci - belt with buckle, minghiusi - earings).
          Men wear as sole adornment which is the chain for the clasp knife.
          The adornments fabrication uses ancient techniques such as filigree, hammering “au repoussé”, engraving, tarsia. There are approximately 100 pieces in the museum patrimony.
