Pocheta (Почета) represents an exquisite element of Russian ethnic dress, historically worn as decorative shoulder panels or chest pieces in traditional women's costumes. Originating from 18th-century peasant communities, these embroidered masterpieces featured symbolic motifs like fertility flowers (rosettes), protective birds (double-headed eagles), and geometric patterns in crimson, gold, and azure threads. Crafted from homespun linen and wool, Pocheta panels were stitched onto sarafan dresses or poneva skirts using counted-thread embroidery techniques.
