Rushnyk made from white linen canvas, with ends embroidered in red and white threads with geometric and stylized floral ornaments in three bands, separated by two bands of openwork with a geometric ornament. The openwork repeat includes a star-shaped figure and a diagonal cross.

The edges of the rushnyk are decorated with lace with scallops.
