Description
Gray-brown rushnyk sewn from two panels, embroidered with red zari thread in a floral ornament. The embroidery composition consists of a floral branch embroidered along the perimeter and framed on both sides by a chain, and rows of cross-sectioned flowers (six and seven flowers per row) along the narrower edges of the rushnyk's field. Above the branch at both ends of the field are three-flower vases (trees of life).
**Legend:** The rushnyk belonged to the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
