ALL HER DOWRY

Analogue from March 2015

“All her dowry” illustrates young girl which is getting ready for marriage (normally in slavic culture around her early teens), preparing her dowry, without which she wouldn’t been taken from parents house, that would normally be tableware. The most valuable would probably be the Gzhel. The head dress had been made (by Uldus) to bring to mind associations with music, as a remedy from sadness and still the symbol of youth.
