Northern Crafts

Boxes, caskets, and embroidered items with northern national character. Towels, napkins, and tablecloths decorated with chain stitch embroidery deserve special attention. A unique feature of these products is the abundance of red colour with small additions of deep blue, green, and gold.

The remarkable wooden bird of happiness is carved using a knife from two solid pieces of pine wood. It stands as a symbol of Arkhangelsk, and is believed to protect the home from misfortune, and bring good luck.
