Embroidery is a traditional women craft of Moldova; women decorate handmade clothes, curtains, tablecloths, and towels. The most impressive ornamentation is of women’s blouses: the ornament is placed in such a way that it highlights the proportions of the body and the expression of the item. Some of the most frequent motives are of floral nature, but scenic and landscape patterns can be seen as well. Embroidery is popular among many cultures, however the Moldovan art is distinguished through the colorful ornamental themes. Ornaments such as rivers, chickens, butterflies, ram horns and the path of the Ceban (an ancient name for herder) are the most common.
