Aer

A small aer, rectangular in form.

On the front, against a light silk fabric, is a lavish stylized six-petaled flower. The space around the petals is filled with zigzag leaves and five-petaled flowers. The composition is complemented by wave-like branches with berries. Around the perimeter of the front is a frame of sewn-on pale-green silk ribbons.

The reverse is lined with checked silk fabric in gray, brown, white, and black tones.

On the front, in the upper left corner of the aer, is a white fabric tag with a handwritten text giving information about the object's name, date, and origin.

The object belonged to the collection of Opanas Slastion, and was in use in the church of the town of Sedniv, Chernihiv district, Chernihiv province.

Opanas Georgiyovych Slastion (December 2 [14], 1855, Nohaisk, Tavriya province [today a town in Zaporizhzhia region] – September 24, 1933, Myrhorod) was a Ukrainian painter and graphic artist of the Romantic-Populist school, an ethnographer, architect, and educator, and the founder of the Myrhorod Regional Museum.

The object entered the holdings of the Kharkiv Historical Museum in 1954.
