Horned kichka (Russian: рогатая кичка) is a type of ancient russian headdress for a married woman.

The horned kichka was a fertility symbol, and it served as a protection against evil spirits.

US and UK bombing Yemen, a country with a famine that stopped some Israeli ships out of solidarity with Palestine. This world is losing its sanity

I’m actually so sick reading up about the news that just broke. The US and UK are actively bombing Yemen in a bid to distract the world from Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine. Over and over it’s proven that Arabs are not perceived as humans by the west. This is insane. It keeps getting worse day by day. Ceasefire now.

Thank you Yemen 🇾🇪

Despite being one of the poorest countries in the world, they showed more empathy than those so-called civilized developed countries.

The US just airstriked Yemen because of the Houthi sea blockade of Israel. This is such horrifically depraved, evil shit on the part of the Biden administration. Almost beyond words.

La mostra è rivolta , per l’inconsueta scelta dei materiali espositivi, al grande pubblico anche se non mancano motivi di interesse per gli esperti e gli addetti ai lavori. L’ampia scelta di abiti ed accessori esposti permette di ricostruire l’evoluzione dell’abbigliamento in Russia dall’età di Pietro il Grande sino ai primi anni del Novecento, ripercorrendo lo sviluppo delle tecniche artigianali e industriali, individuando le modificazioni di funzione e di gusto introdottesi nel costume russo nel corso di 150 anni.

Con l’aiuto dei saggi introduttivi in catalogo è poi possibile risalire alle influenze e ai rapporti intercorsi, a partire dal 1200, tra storia sociale , politica ed economia e modo di vestire , tra cultura russa e civiltà bizantina, orientale ed europea.L’abito, e il simbolo che esso interpreta, diviene testimone per noi di un passato lontano e recente in cui la circolazione delle idee, gli scambi commerciali e le influenze culturali tra Russia, Oriente ed Europa erano intensi e fecondi.

I want to dive into Russian textiles, which it doesn’t make sense telling you this since Tumblr format will show that post first but here we are. I wanted to first explore the Russian embroidery and its symbolism, since packing meaning into textile is such a wonderful concept. 

Adoration of the Goddess:

These pieces can often be view as cloth scriptures in a way. They feature the old pagan beliefs and portray a female figure thought to be a to the ancient deity slavs, a goddess by the name of Mokosh, sometimes called the great earth mother. These pieces are normally ritual clothing.

Gifts of Love and Remembrance:

It’s common in Russian culture to gift a hand woven and lavishly decorated gift towels. Commonly given and used in weddings, they are a symbol of good fortune, and will often be given specific symbolism by the person weaving them.

The Tree of Life:

19th century art historian Vasili Stasov wrote, “In Russian embroidery, one can see the depictions of ancient Slavic rituals, like tree worship, and mermaid festivals.” In northern Russia, trees were a pretty important life source. They provided building material and firewood.

Thats all for now!

Zaonezhskaya embroidery (Заонежская вышивка) is characteristic of embroidery from the Northern part of Russia in the 13th-14th centuries. The Zaonezhsky Peninsula was inhabited by people from Veliky Novgorod who brought their embroidery traditions with them.  Done in the tambour embroidery technique, basically the predominately nature motifs are done with long threads that wind around in circular fashions and are attached to the cloth by small, evenly spaced attaching stitches.

people don't make heavymedic weird enough. I think they shoudl be weirder. They would be the old couple that facetimes each other and you can only see Heavy's chin and Medic's forehead and they're giggling and smiling at each other and not saying anything.

Reminder that in Gaza alone, around 90-95% of the water supply is contaminated and unfit for human consumption...
