EVENING kokoshnik embroidered with black beads and beads

The history of kokoshnik is mysterious and covered with mystery, so it is not known for sure when kokoshniki first appeared in Russia. But since the tenth century, Old Russian women have worn similar headdresses. In the burials of Novgorodians of the 10-12 century, something similar to kokoshnik was found.

The very same definition of "kokoshnik" is first mentioned in the writings of the 17th century and comes from the Old Slavic "kokosh", meaning a chicken, the distinctive feature of which is " comb". " In Russian folk costume, women's headdress was given special attention. It was possible to find out not only from what area the owner was from, but also what her age, marital status and social affiliation were".

The kokoshniks, who make kokoshniks, embroidered them with pearls, beads, gold threads, various ornaments, which are symbols of marital fidelity, fertility and a talisman of the family. The cost of some copies made for the royal families reached fabulous sums.

We present to your attention a kokoshnik, hand-embroidered with black glass beads and beads of various diameters. Each bead, each bead is carefully sewn with love and tenderness, keeps the warmth of my hands for your joy!
