cölöpözés
Cölöpözés is a traditional Hungarian folk art and craft that involves decorating wooden objects, most commonly chests, doors, and furniture, with painted or carved motifs. The origins of cölöpözés can be traced back to the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in rural areas of Hungary. It served both decorative and utilitarian purposes, with designs often conveying symbolic meanings related to fertility, protection, or everyday life.
The decorative elements of cölöpözés typically include floral patterns, geometric shapes, birds, and sometimes human figures.
While the practice saw a decline with modernization and industrialization, there has been a resurgence of interest
