Description: Interesting book about the history of various symbols and motifs found in Ukrainian embroidery and their role as protective elements in embroidered textiles and garments. The book offers samples of embroidery from all over Ukraine. It is demonstrated how far motives of Trypillya people, Egyptians, Sumerians, Inca, other ancient people were consonant with motives of modern Ukrainians. Decorative patterns replicated since the times of Trypillya and till nowadays, history and symbolism – all of this has been collected in one book by Maria Chumarna. This book is an attempt to reveal the sense of the encoded record of Ukraine imprinted on shirts and towels, trunks and altars. The same record exists in our genes and consciousness. Heavily illustrated.
