The sleeve features a scattered pattern of roses (Rosa centifolia) with branches and leaves. The cuff is decorated with a stripe of six-petaled flowers and curled leaves. The neckline band has a thin black and red chain stitch. Legend: Used in Kharkiv region, part of the collection of the Sloboda Ukraine Museum named after G.S.
