The boroda is a breast decoration, part of the female festive costume of the Chernukha Village. It comprises a long strip of metallic fringe, from seven to thirty meters in length, which was wrapped evenly around the neck and onto the breast so that each row slightly covered the one beneath. A twisting viteika decoration added a finishing touch.
