Why these angels are extraordinary

Let us begin by telling you a little bit about the history of these wonderful ornaments. They come from the Ukrainian village of Petrykivka, where its own unique technique of traditional hand painting has been developed over the past few centuries. Craftsmen apply recognizable folk ornaments to everything: dishes, furniture, wooden toys, the walls of their homes, and, of course, Christmas decorations, the most popular of which are angels.

• Each angel is only one of a kind because it is hand-painted and repetition of ornaments, colors and even facial expressions is impossible. This is not industrial printing
