Fancy Mantle Embroidery - Hungarian Folk Art Ceramic Ornament
Authentic Fancy Mantle embroidery folk art from Hungary on vintage beige background.
Description of motif:
The mantle (szűr) was made cut straight lines and rectangular piece of baize. It was wore by sheperds for centuries. The mantle defended the sheperd from the cold, rain, wind, snow, gave shading against the sun. It was the pillow, blanket for him. However, the Fancy Mantle (Cifraszűr) has been counted on formal dresses. A peasant bachelor not married since he hasn't attained Fancy Mantle. It's already an important role in courtship. When the suitor left the girl's house deliberately left his Fancy Mantle. Next day if it was in the house, he was welcomed back as a suitor, but if he found it hanging on the porch, he was rejected - "His mantle is exposed" (Hungarian saying) - and did not welcome anymore as a suitor.
Young men in Fancy Mantle are singing into a phonograph.

I love the symbolism in this piece! The olive branches and flowers reminding us of Gethsemane and the joy of the resurrection. The candle reminding us of Christ's light and love. I've dropped it a few times already and it has held together nicely. Couldn't be more pleased with this product! Would definitely buy again. The printing was as expected on the front. Clear colors. The back where the artist put her brand name was a bit faded, but still readable.

I always worry when I order something customized, but this was just as I'd hoped it would be. My grandson will love it,. I spelled words wrong on purpose and they printed it just as it was entered. I was also concerned the words would run into the hole for hanging the ornament but it was centered and perfect, I am so pleased, I am now in the process of ordering customized volleyball ornaments from Zazzle for my granddaughter and her entire team. Thank you.

Zazzle has created a beautiful pet memorial perfect for our Christmas tree for years and years to come. We lost these two pets during this year which makes these ornaments even more social. I recommend this item to anyone who has lost a four-legged friend. Zazzle did an excellent job centering the uploaded photos, clearing the decorative items and string hole.
