Prince Mihailo Obrenović’s Dolman

Prince Mihailo Obrenović spent his childhood in Kragujevac, Požarevac and Belgrade. Princess Ljubica played great role in his formative years. It was often noted that of all the Princess's children, Prince Mihailo inherited the most of her mental and character traits. The preserved children's dolman worn by Prince Mihailo’s during his baptism in 1823 in Kragujevac, where he was baptized by Melentije Pavlović, is of exceptional value. It has a simple cut, and is sewn from white cotton fabric woven with silk, while the collar and sleeves are decorated with gold embroidery ribbons.
