Interesting ethnographical information: The patterns are taken from original Bulgarian carpets and are very ancient. The purpcse of the ring of the bells - most popular in the ritual ''kukeri'' - is to drive away the evil powers. This custom comes from ancient times - from the Thracians. According to popular beliefs, the stylized images of snakes, birds, tortoises, flowers, bring happiness and protection of people. The coloures of the decoration also carry a lot of meaning. Red is predominant, as a symbol of fertility and regenerating nature, of the sun and the fire. The wool also has been a symbol of the fertility. In the mythological plan, the wool belongs to the earth and this connection with the underworld gave it a magical power to bring and deliver a fecundity and to drive away the evil. Because of that the women insenced wool and recommended the carrying of a red woolen thread against the evil eye.
