Description
Gray rushnyk sewn from two panels (50 cm each), embroidered with red and black threads in a floral ornament. The embroidery composition consists of an ornamental strip (stylized flowers) along the perimeter, framed on both sides by wavy lines; a scattering of small branches with flowers and buds across the rushnyk's field; and four branches with large flowers embroidered in the corners of the rushnyk's field.
**Legend:** The rushnyk belonged to the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
