Description
Rushnyk made from white factory linen fabric. The ends are decorated from the center with a large stylized composition in the form of a wreath: two large roses, bellflowers, cornflowers, and branches with leaves and spikes, with three small flowers in the center. The composition is executed in red, pink, blue, and yellow threads. Closer to the edge, the rushnyk is adorned across its width with white openwork with transparent embroidery of small flowers with leaves and a rhombic composition. Above the openwork, the rushnyk is decorated with a large garland of leaves in red, yellow, and blue colors. The edges are finished with white fabric embroidered with a floral ornament in the 'richelieu' technique. One longitudinal edge is hemmed with a machine stitch, the other is the selvage.
