The photo shows a woman in a traditional festive costume. She is wearing a fur coat with large puffs on the shoulders, and a tall conical fur cap with a silver-embroidered felt crest. Over the fur coat are breast decorations: silver chains suspended on the grivna and on the bastynga wreath worn under the cap. In the center is a round engraved plate symbolizing the sun.
