    The scarf features a reproduction of a section of the mural on the house of the renowned Ukrainian artist Polina Raiko in Oleshky, in the Kherson region. Polina Raiko was a unique artist who, despite having no formal art training, began painting at the age of 69. Her work belongs to the so-called naive art movement. Polina Raiko depicted the world of her dreams and fantasies directly on the walls and ceiling of her own home. After her death, the house was converted into a museum dedicated to the artist. On 6 June 2023, following the Russian bombing of the Kherson Hydroelectric Power Station, most of the murals were destroyed due to severe flooding of the house. As of today, Oleshky remains under Russian occupation.
