A white pillowcase for a small pillow left by an unknown Jewish family from Żarnów.

The pillowcase is decorated on three sides - at the top and side edges - with a frill and a factory-made decorative ribbon. The ribbon is adorned with a geometric pattern (squares inscribed in squares), and is also sewn into the main envelope area, above a rectangular reinforcing strip that is whiter than the rest of the fabric. Underneath it (visible on the inside of the pillowcase) there is a tear, a small repair is also found in the middle of the top of the frill.

On the side with the hole for inserting the pillow, there are two metal buttons covered with linen (material worn off).
