This cloth may have functioned as a towel. On one end, there are two panels of lace work surrounded by pink silk ribbon. Within each panel are two women flanking a stylized peacock. A smaller bird flies near the head of the woman on the right side of each panel. Handmade lace for marriage dowries was produced at large quantities in Russia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
