The towel on seeing

A copy of the rushnik of the Bryansk uyezd sevsky district.

Rushnik, and sometimes more than one, took with them on the road chumaki, military, those who went to work, and everyone who was away from home for a long time. The towel was a symbol of wishing a happy fate in the future and the memory of his native home, and therefore the most expensive gift from a mother on the road to her son, when he went to a new life.
During the send-off to the army, young men were hung with towels from head to toe, wishing them a happy service and a safe return home. Accompanying her son on a long journey, his mother gave him an embroidered towel. At the same time, wishing happiness, she said: « Spreads let you share this rushnychok!»

Rushnik made of dense pure Belarusian linen. Bilateral, clean inside out. Embroidery machine.
