Coffee-Scented Souvenir – Ram in Vyshyvanka

An ethnic-style toy created by Ternopil craftsmen. The toy is sewn from natural fabrics, filled with cleaned buckwheat husks, the fabric is covered with a solution of coffee, vanilla, cinnamon on top, the aroma of the toy lasts for about six months. The sheep is decorated with hand-painted acrylic paints.

Ukrainians used to believe that a sheep brings wealth. At important, fateful moments in life (for example, at a wedding), people sat on a shaggy sheepskin so that they would always have abundance and everything would be successful.
Ramen are depicted on pysanka – the “ram horns” pattern is similar to the image of growing shoots-leaves, symbolizing fertility and abundance.
