Folk art of the Matyó, embroidery of a traditional community

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2012 URL: http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/RL/... Description: The folk art of the Roman Catholic Matyó community in and around the town of Mezőkövesd in north-eastern Hungary is characterized by floral motifs that are found in flat-stitch embroidery, interior decoration and architecture. The national popularity of Matyó embroidery has made it into a form of auxiliary income, enabling women to buy the fine fabrics and supplies necessary for making elaborate costumes. Most often practised as a communal activity, embroidery strengthens interpersonal relationships and community cohesion, while allowing for individual artistic expression.
