Title
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Red & White Embroidery-Style Shell Casing β€” Ukrainian Keepsake

Description
Bold red, delicate geometric detail and a new purpose: helping Ukraine through art. β€οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Given to Olena by residents of the Ivankiv area, then generously donated to us for fundraising, this decorated casing features an embroidery-style pattern in red, cream-white and black.

Repeating diamonds, stepped shapes and small cross motifs wrap around the body, creating the appearance of stitched textile decoration. A matching red neck and base complete this striking design.

A meaningful gift for someone who loves Ukrainian decorative traditions, or a colourful addition to your own collection. It even looks dressed for the occasion β€” considerably more organised than most of us. πŸ˜‰

Believed to be from 12.7mm (.50 calibre) ammunition, this casing may have been fired in defence of Ukraine’s skies, although its exact service history has not been confirmed. Now repurposed for display, it continues helping Ukraine through fundraising.

These decorated casings are now in short supply, as getting them out of Ukraine has become increasingly difficult. Availability is limited, and we cannot promise when more will arrive.

100% inert, this is a decorative keepsake. Ownership and import requirements vary by location, so please check the rules where you live before ordering.

Approximate measurements:

  • Height: 170mm (17cm)

  • Base diameter: 21mm

  • Believed original calibre: 12.7mm (.50 calibre)

Original surface marks and individual decorative finishes are part of its character.

Every penny spent in our store goes towards helping Ukraine. πŸ’™πŸ’›
