Autochrome of women in traditional dress, Baden, Germany

Seems to be Trachten from the Hochschwarzwald region: https://www.schwarzwald-tourismus.info/schwarzwald/klassiker/bollenhut/es-trachtet-auch-im-rest-des-schwarzwaldes/region-hochschwarzwald

Caption: “The fuck YOU lookin’ at???”

Any idea why the one would be holding a small bit of whatever kind of pine that seems to be?

Baden: Where the womenfolk are as sturdy as the stairs.
