Comparative Analysis of Western Ukrainian and Lithuanian Folk Towels

“…In a separate group, we see publications on the semantics and function of traditional towels in the context of ritual practices (Andrushko [12], Herus [13]). Some writings are about towel decoration questions (Kozakevych [14], Kutsyr [15]), as well as the analysis of materials and techniques of traditional towels and the possibility of their use in modern life [16][17][18] (Kumpikaitė, Ragaišienė, Rukuižienė, Kot, Nenartavičiūtė). The author of the catalogue of folk towels from the National Museum of Lithuania, Bernotaitė-Beliauskienė [19], considers most of the mentioned issues with rich illustrative content.…”
