Ceremonial rushnyk for icons (2 pcs) Ч-07

A ceremonial rushnyk for icons — a traditional Ukrainian ceremonial rushnyk finished with soft lace. The striking festive embroidery is worked in cross stitch with red threads. The rushnyk is sewn in quality natural cotton fabric. Each finished rushnyk measures about 150 by 31 centimetres. The price is for the complete set of two ceremonial rushnyky.

The ceremonial rushnyk is an old symbol, bound up with the tradition in which Ukrainian embroidery developed. The cross stitch embroidery makes this piece authentic, festive and formal. The rushnyk carries on the folk ceremonial tradition of adorning the icons in the home. A piece like this keeps the traditional spirit of a Ukrainian family home. It gives a home a sense of cosiness, warmth and national colour.
