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.
