For Vyshyvanka Day in Kyiv, the little founders of the capital, Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv, and their sister Lybid, were dressed in traditional Ukrainian clothes, and the girl had a wreath on her head. This was reported by the author of the monument, Volodymyr Zhuravel, reports UNN.
Details
Why is the sculpture "Kids Founders of Kyiv" dark in color? The answer is because they are made of bronze! Bronze naturally becomes dark olive in color under the influence of precipitation. Sculptors usually use patina to speed up this process. Happy Vyshyvanka Day, friends!
The figures can be seen on Poshtova Square in the city.
