Description

White rushnyk embroidered with red threads across the entire field. The ornaments are floral, geometric, zoomorphic, and textual. The embroidery composition is repeated at the ends and consists of four vertically arranged flower bouquets, above which are birds on branches and the symbols '9OK.' Three of the four bouquets are surrounded by grape leaves, with a bird embroidered between two floral bushes at the top; the fourth has acacia leaves around it, with three flowers in place of the bird. The border and base are grape branches embroidered around three sides of the bouquets. In the center of the rushnyk are two bands of diamonds. The hem is without openwork.
