Ornamentation of Lithuanian Ethnographic Home Textiles
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 5
Abstract
In the literature analyzed there are no interdisciplinary researches that could combine both ethnographic and technological investigations of Lithuanian folk home textiles. Therefore, the goal of this article is to make a complex investigation of Lithuanian ethnographic home textiles analysing its patterns, weaves, colour repeats and weave symmetry groups. 849 multipurpose ethnographic home textile fabrics (bedspreads, pillow-slips, slip-covers, towels, tablecloths, pieces of different purposes, curtains, bed sheets) from 5 Lithuanian museums were analysed. In Lithuanian ethnographic home textiles six different types of patterns were distinguished, of which fancy, motley, checked and plane fabrics were the most popular. In the home textiles analyzed there were found 22 different types of weaves. Checked twill, plane and overshot four-harness weaves were the most popular. While analysing symmetry groups of colour repeats and weaves according to classical principles of ornamentation, six symmetry groups were distinguished. Although patterns and weaves have the same symmetry groups, their distribution is different in both cases.
