A white pillowcase left by an unknown Jewish family from Żarnów. A pillowcase with a floral motif: two flowers (two cups each) on the sides, with hand-embroidered openwork flower cups and leaves (one each) and with short stems embroidered in white thread between the cups and leaves.

In the middle of the envelope embroidered letters “S. G.” (initials of the former Jewish owners?).

To the large flowers there are attached two horizontal openwork narrow lines of borders at the top and vertical lines on the sides (also two).

The top and side edges have a pleated ruffle, the outer edge of which is decorated with factory-made lace.

You can see a rust stain - dots - at the cushion hole. Numerous yellow stains.

No buttons (buttons were inserted into prepared holes).
