Description
Gray rushnyk embroidered with red threads. The floral ornament is mirror-repeated at both ends. The embroidery composition consists of the main part: a tree of life with a trunk growing from a vase, with stylized flowers on branches, and two stylized birds near the top flowers; above the tree, a scattering of flowers; the base: a wide horizontal floral branch; the border: a floral ornament strip running along the rushnyk. The main part is separated from the border by a chain-like strip, and the entire composition is outlined by a similar strip. The base is separated from the central part by a strip of stylized flowers.
