The Spider (Pavuk in Ukrainian) is a traditional Christmas and New Year decoration crafted from straw, deeply rooted in ancient Ukrainian culture. This unique creation represents the universe and embodies the harmony of life. Suspended from the ceiling, it would gently move with the air - its hypnotic motion believed to bring a sense of wonder and good fortune to the household.
 
The basic straw design was often decorated with additional shapes made of straw, as well as colorful paper or thread tassels. Our Pavuk is complemented by delicate red cotton tassels, adding a joyful festive touch and warmth to your home.
 
Each Pavuk is meticulously handmade by Viki Virgo, following time-honored techniques passed down through generations. By purchasing this piece of cultural heritage, you acquire a beautiful decoration while helping preserve an ancient craft that carries the spirit and traditions of Ukraine.
