Description:

Embroidery is not just a decorative element. This is Ukrainian history, mythology, religion and the ancient art of our ancestors. Scientists believe that embroidery encodes the nation's genetic code. The embroidered shirts, rushnyks (embroidered towels) and head-cloths represent a variety of techniques and colors from different regions of Ukraine.

The envelope depicts Crimean Tatar embroidery (a women's head shawl “marama”, mid-nineteenth century), which is made in the traditional technique of tambour embroidery Qasnaq using metallized (gold) and silk threads on homespun.
