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 Autonomous Republic of Crimea is represented on
the postal issue by Crimean Tatar embroidery (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. The ornamentation, color combinations and technological methods
correspond to the principles of national decorative art and crafts that have
been developed since ancient times.
