New Year tree of the Krasnodar region: a whole field of sunflowers and embroidery in stained glass windows
The
sunflower - an amazing flower, a symbol of vitality and strength - has long
been a symbol of Kuban. Sunshine, bright sunflowers, cheerfulness and
hospitality - craftsmen from the Krasnodar region put all their love for their
native land into the decoration of the New Year tree at VDNH.
Especially for the fir tree they have made stained glass from plexiglass, which frame the artistic painting and embroidery with local traditional ornaments. Embroidery in Kuban has long been the most widespread type of folk art.

technique was widely used and became a recognizable style of the southern
lands. It was used to decorate clothes, rushniki towels, table cloths, pillows,
napkins.
