Description
Rushnyk made of factory-produced calico fabric, embroidered with white threads. The ornament is stylized floral. The ends are decorated with three floral branches ('tree' motif): the central branch with roots, a straight stem, topped with a large eight-petal flower. On both sides are wavy branches with large and small flowers and leaves. Above the composition are scattered individual three-petal flowers. The rushnyk is framed by a double chain frame, with a wavy floral branch at the bottom and a wavy branch with leaves on the sides.
**Legend:** Part of the pre-war collection of the Museum of Sloboda Ukraine named after H.S. Skovoroda.
