Embroidered linen shirt with yavorivsky ornament Yavir

(Lviv region, Yavoriv district)

In the Yavoriv district, the geometric ornament of the 19th century was replaced by a stylised floral one in the early 20th century.

Its characteristic features are bright and embossed embroidery, different but balanced small motifs, with a lot of white space between them.

It is how shirts, headdresses, camisoles and aprons were decorated, creating a light but bright image.
