A Family Heirloom of the Kosach Family

About this item:

Lesia Ukrainka’s Gerdan – A Family Heirloom of the Kosach Family.

This gerdan is one of Lesia Ukrainka’s most iconic accessories. However, looking through family photos, it becomes clear that it was not only hers—her mother, Olha Kosach (known as Olena Pchilka), also wore it. This suggests that the gerdan was a true family heirloom of the Kosach family.

The ornament of this gerdan carries deep symbolism. Rhombus patterns represent a sown field, which in folk beliefs symbolized fertility and feminine energy. People once believed that wearing such a piece would bring prosperity and good health.
