Friends! A small but very interesting exhibition of embroidery monuments from the museum collection, which presents embroidered shirts of the 19th – early 20th centuries from different regions of Ukraine and a complex of men’s clothing from the Ternopil region, continues to work in the museum.
The openwork embroidery of Poltava shirts is emphasized by black or gray threads on a gray canvas background. Geometric relief embroidery with white threads on the Chernihiv shirt creates the effect of light and shadow play on a gray surface. The hem of a shirt from the Ivano-Frankivsk region, tightly sewn with multi-colored threads in the “cross” technique, gives the impression of a small carpet. The embroidered decor on the Ternopil men’s shirt, created with twisted woolen threads, looks embossed.
In the 19th century in the decoration of women’s shirts, next to the classic samples of traditional folk embroidery with their own artistic features inherent in each region, new, naturalistically treated plant motifs in red and black color appear. A sample of the “pure” style of “brocade” is a festive shirt from the Kyiv region.
The exhibition is complemented by embroidered towels of the late 18th and early 20th centuries of the Kyiv, Poltava and Cherkasy regions.
The decoration of the exhibition is rare items from the collection of Crimean Tatar embroidery of the 19th century: women’s headdresses, men’s wedding belts, decorative towels, napkins.
Special exhibits of the exhibition are women’s shirts of the 19th century. with roosters on the sleeves (Kharkiv region) and a sample of vestibule embroidery (“kasnak”) of a woman’s shawl (“marama”) from the middle of the 19th century. (Autonomous Republic of Crimea). These memorabilia were used for sketches of new stamps issued by Ukrposhta for Vyshyvanka Day.
New stamps from the series “Ukrainian embroidery – the code of the nation”, which began in 2018, can also be seen by museum visitors at the exhibition of embroidered monuments from the museum collection.
