Linen Embroidered Pillow Ukraine (20x20)

Linen Embroidered Pillow Ukraine (20x20)Hand embroidered natural linen pillow from Ukraine. In this pair of "whitework" pillows, white thread is employed with different embroidery techniques, producing a three dimensional light and shadow effect with shades ranging from snow white to dark gray. While the whitework embroidery of Central Ukraine (Poltava region) is well known throughout the world, that of my native Pokuttya region has not been fully researched. Front: Linen with "whitework"
