About the Product

Zgardas are among the oldest chest decorations of the Hutsuls. In terms of composition, it is a complex system that combines one or several rhythmic-plastic rows of various solar signs, strung on "retiazky," straps, etc., placed at a distance of "perelyzhok" from each other and connected by "chepragy." The compositional center is often a larger equilateral cross that unites all others, sometimes smaller crosses.

Production time: up to 10 days.
