The model is taken from the Album “Bulgarian Folk Embroideries” compiled by Rositsa Chukanova, published by the “Bulgarian artist” publishing house in Sofia in 1957 and its photo-type copy, made by Georgi V. Markov in Plovdiv in 2017.

Graovo is a historic-geographical and ethnographic region in Western Bulgaria, Pernik region, part of the Shopski folk region. The embroidery ornaments are mainly geometrical or complex floral motifs. The main colours are the crimson red, raspberry red, dark red and orange-red. The perfect harmony of colours makes the embroidery look like a garden of flowers. The embroidery ornaments are made in great details.
