Features of Bashkir ornament

Bashkir the ornament and patterns are composed of geometric, plant and zoomorphic elements, which constantly alternate and repeat.

Later, the patterns became more detailed. Elements resembling fractals appeared, consisting of many small geometric shapes. The drawings acquired a plot, and various composition options appeared.

The Bashkirs began to use patterns to decorate household items. They painted wooden and metal utensils, embroidered ornaments on bedding and towels, created colorful carpets and decorated clothes.

Symmetry in Bashkir patterns makes sense. It reflects different, contrasting phenomena that are familiar to all peoples of the world. Examples: day and night, death and birth, man and woman. To make these elements look harmonious together, the pattern is “balanced” by the central pattern.

female silhouette – a symbol of fertility;
tree – symbolizes life;
diamonds are a sign of a good harvest;
ram's horn (kuskar) - a symbol of herbs and healing;
The heart is a sign of hospitality.

They believed that a hand-embroidered collar, hem or sleeves of a shirt would help protect against evil spirits and the bad intentions of ill-wishers.
