Description

Rectangular rushnyk made of white fabric, embroidered with white threads and finished with a scalloped stitch at the ends. The embroidery ornament is floral, consisting of a garland of flowers and leaves. Legend: The rushnyk was passed down to Dzhyoieva Svitlana Hryhorivna from her mother Yevdokiia Mykolaivna Ishkova (1900–1987) and grandmother Feodosiia Sydorenko (married name Porichka). The family of Feodosiia Sydorenko, a peasant girl who married a student, and Mykola Porichka lived in Kyiv. Yevdokiia Mykolaivna Porichka studied at a gymnasium, graduating around 1917 in Kyiv with a home teacher’s diploma. She married Hryhorii Vasyliovych Ishkov, a railway engineer, and moved to Kharkiv.
