Description

Gray rushnyk, embroidered at the ends with unbleached hemp threads and red zapoloch. The ornament is floral. The rushnyk is hemmed with a hem and openwork, above which a row of 'retyaz' stitches is embroidered with hemp threads on both ends. On one end, the hem features the letter 'Н' embroidered with hemp threads; on the other, above the 'retyaz,' the letters 'Н.Б' are embroidered with red zapoloch using the 'backstitch' technique. The embroidery is arranged in two rows on both ends: a band of stylized floral ornament executed in the 'vykoluvannya' technique with hemp threads, and a branch of lilies embroidered with 'cross-stitch' using hemp threads and red zapoloch. Other marks: On one end, the letter 'Н' is embroidered on the hem with hemp threads using 'lyshtva,' and on the other, above the 'retyaz,' the letters 'Н.Б' are embroidered with red zapoloch using 'backstitch.'
