Cross & Pysanka Easter Basket Cover with Red Fringe — a hand embroidered Ukrainian basket cover in cross-stitch on white fabric, finished with red fringe at both ends. The traditional Easter greeting "Hrystos Voskres" (Christ is Risen) arches above the central scene in red thread. At the center stands an Orthodox cross with a golden-ray halo, flanked by pussy willow branches with grey-blue catkins. Below sit two pysanka eggs in orange and red with horizontal band patterns, and a round paska Easter bread. A geometric border of red-and-black star rosettes and floral crosses frames the design, with a red-and-black zigzag hem band along the edge.
The red fringe and red-dominant color scheme give this cover a warmer, more festive look than similar designs, while keeping the full set of traditional Easter symbols — cross, pysanka, and paska — at its center.
As each piece is embroidered entirely by hand, minor variations in stitch density or color tone may occur — this is part of what makes every cover one of a kind.
