These are common to central or Northern Europe, and designs vary regionally. In parts of Europe during the Middle Ages, they were decorated with flowers, fir branches, herbs and ripe fruits. From the 17th century until today, more expensive materials may be used such as pearls, mirrors, silver and gold. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
