New Year tree of the Rostov region: mysterious Sirin and delicate ceramics
The
decoration of the fir tree represents a bright folk art craft, which is
included in the federal register - Semikarakorskaya ceramics. The craft is
based on the traditions of pottery craft of the Cossack village of
Semikarakorskaya.
Since the
Middle Ages, the local population has been engaged in pottery, and local clays
were used to make makitra pots, little makhotka pots and other household items.
However, the modern Semikarakorskaya folk craft began its history in the
workshops of the district industrial combine, founded in the town in 1943
immediately after the liberation of the territory from occupation.
The fir
tree is decorated with figures in folk costumes of Don residents, decorative
panels with images of fruits and the magic bird Sirin, as well as wreaths of
cereals.
On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by New Year fir trees, each representing a region of the country.
