IV/IV. Ornamental window lintels (lishtvy – ліштвы).
As with embroidered patterns and symbols on traditional national costumes, the motifs and styles of ornamental window lintels (lishtvy) differ from region to region. In Bahushevichy, in addition to stylized snakes and dragons similar to what one finds in other areas, there are many examples of more abstract representations of animals (fish?) and geometric patterns.
IV/IV. Ліштвы.
