The "Uzhalka" scarf is a fusion of Belarusian mythology and folk crafts. The legend of the daughter of the Snake King is interwoven with the patterns of Slutsk sashes in four color variants.
According to Belarusian legends, Uzhalki – daughters of the King of Snakes, the Lord of Snakes, can easily turn into beautiful girls or snakes.
The Snake Lord is very wealthy. He protects many treasures, so his daughters have a wealth of precious ornaments. This snake can be recognized by the Uzhalek's characteristic attribute—gold ornaments. Hence the belief that snakes have yellow spots.
Sometimes they lose some of their ornaments. It was believed that anyone who found such an item would be immune to snakebites.
And the young man who wins Użalka's heart can learn the secret of the countless treasures of the Serpents.
