Description

With making this bookmark I wanted to offer you a great gift for someone from the Ukraine. Or perhaps you have wonderful memories of trips to the Ukraine yourself. So I guess this bookmark will bring back lots of personal memories to you 🙂
I created it in the national colours (“blue sky above yellow field of wheat”) with a flower and special bead caps that resemble the traditional handcraft of embroidery and the little swallow as well as the metal bookmark with flowers and butterflies for the beautiful landscapes and nature 🙂

The Tryzub (Ukrainian Trident) (pronounced “treh-zoob”) is the ubiquitous symbol of Ukraine. The ancient symbol is believed to have originated as a tribal symbol; today it is emblazoned on the country’s flag, on postage, money, business logos, even Easter eggs! The highly stylized version seen almost everywhere in Ukraine originated as the family crest of Volodymyr, a tenth century Ukrainian Prince.

Today, the tryzub is worn as a symbol of national pride, as a symbol of the Christian trinity, or as a synthesis of the divine elements of fire and water in the manifest world.
