Strachină
1850
From the collection of Constanța Folk Art Museum
Strachină is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Meander, held at Constanța Folk Art Museum.
This is a round, decorated plate with layers of patterns. The center is plain white with a small circle. Around it are bands of green leaves, red zigzags, and a scalloped edge. The colors are bright but faded, like old pottery. The repeating zigzag lines in the design are called a *meander*. It’s a simple but common pattern in old pottery and tiles. Look up *meander* to see how this design shows up in other cultures.
