Small pillowcase

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

The pillowcase is finished on three sides with a frill: sewn into the envelope near the three edges (at a distance): on top and sides. The outer edge of the frill is decorated with an openwork factory-made lace, with such lace has being sewn onto the three lines of the frill seam that converge at right angles (on their inner side). On the side without the frill there is an opening for inserting the pillow, with three buttons made of plastic imitating mother-of-pearl.

There are three visible dots (most likely rust) in the lower left side of the ruffle.
