Rushnyk made of white factory-produced linen canvas. The edges of the rushnyk are decorated with two narrow stripes of openwork featuring a stylized floral (flowers and leaves) ornament, above which the letters "E" on one side and "S" on the other are embroidered.

 

Legend: The rushnyk belonged to Korotkova Olena Valentynivna (maiden name Morozova), who descends from the Kudashev noble family. The Kudashev family has been known since the early 17th century. Princess Olga Yevhenivna Kudasheva (Morozova) was the daughter of Prince Yevhen Oleksandrovych, an honorary justice of the peace of the Sumy district; granddaughter of Prince Oleksandr Volodymyrovych, a major general and landowner in the Khorol district of Poltava province (as of 1898); niece of Princess Yuliya Oleksandrivna, wife of Professor L.L. Hirshman; and grandmother of Olena Valentynivna Korotkova.
