Description
Gray rushnyk embroidered with red and gray threads in a floral ornament. The embroidery is mirror-repeated at both ends. The composition consists of the main part: a tree of life with a trunk growing from a flower, with stylized flowers on branches extending from the trunk; two stylized birds facing the top flower; above the tree, a scattering of flowers; the base: a wide horizontal floral branch; the border: a wavy branch with flowers in the folds running along the rushnyk's field. The border and base are framed on both sides by a wavy line.
