介绍（中）	这件物品来自Natalia de Shabelsky（1841-1905）的收藏，她是一位俄罗斯贵族，被迫保留她认为正在消失的祖国民间艺术传统。她游历了整个大俄罗斯，收集了许多富农阶级纺织艺术的优秀范例。从19世纪70年代到1902年移居法国，沙贝尔斯基收集了大量刺绣精美的手工编织家用纺织品和装饰丰富、图案精致的节日服装。布鲁克林博物馆的藏品包括许多精美的例子，包括大部分服装。沙贝尔斯基的部分藏品也收藏在波士顿美术博物馆、克利夫兰美术馆和圣彼得堡俄罗斯民族志博物馆这条毛巾边上的植物形态似乎是处于分娩姿势的女神的代表。在俄罗斯刺绣中，女神和生命之树经常是可互换的。这种植物就像一个抽象的人形，有着圆形的腹部和代表她的手和脚的花朵。鲜花通常与女神联系在一起，作为头饰，握在她的手中，或代替她的头和手。骑马在大女神两侧的小女神也有圆形的腹部，腹部有一个花朵图案。
介绍（英）	This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg. The plant form in this towel border appears to be representative of the goddess in the birthing position. The goddess and tree of life are often interchangeable in Russian embroidery. This plant resembles an abstracted human form with a rounded belly and flowers representing her hands and feet. Flowers are often associated with the goddess, as a headdress and held in her hands, or replacing her head and hands. The minor goddesses on horseback flanking the great goddess also have rounded bellies with the addition of a flower motif on the belly.
