"Flowers and Birds in Ukrainian Kilim Design"includes the text of the groundbreaking study Ukrainian Kilims by the distinguished Ukrainian art historian Stefan Taranushenko (1889 1976). Although he spent many years working on this monograph, he never managed to complete it. The reproductions of the finest extant examples of kilims from ten museums in Ukraine and The Ukrainian Museum in New York City featured in this book serve as a kind of sequel to Taranushenko s scholarly research."
