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.

Cross embroidery 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.

One of the favorite images of folk art in Kuban was a bird - most often these are images of pigeons and roosters. In folk art, a pair of birds is a symbol of love and happiness.
