About product

On the front side in the bottom half of the pillowcase is a continuous band of hop leaves and hop cones bordered at the bottom by a ribbon. Pattern size 17 cm. The entire remaining surface on the front and back side of the pillowcase is filled with full light blue six-petal flowers. Dyed with natural indigo, pattern in two colors – light blue-yellow. The original pattern was used in Upper Liptov on clothing. Made from a single piece of canvas folded in half, stitched on the shorter sides with a machine, opening without fastening in the middle third of the longer side. The pillowcase was made in the 1980s by Stanislav Trnka based on a design by the artist Eva Kováčová from ÚĽUV.
