Description
Rushnyk made from white fabric. Decorated at the ends with embroidery of two compositions separated by machine-made openwork. The first composition features two branches joined by a ribbon, framing the embroidered initials 'EL.' To the left and right of it is a branch with a flower and leaves. The composition is embroidered in red, yellow, green, and gray threads. The second composition, closer to the edge, consists of a branch with buds and leaves, executed in red and gray threads. Factory lace with a wavy edge is sewn to the edge of the rushnyk. One longitudinal edge is hemmed with a narrow machine-stitched hem, the other is the selvage.
