This is an embroidered patch that was on the upper garment of the Miao people. The colored threads bloom vividly on the dark blue cloth. The stitches are fine, and the density of the handwork is amazing. The motifs are very luxurious, including: Phoenix, magpie, goldfish, crab, and many flowers. All of them are designs that wish for "abundance" and "a happy life," and just looking at them gives off an auspicious atmosphere. The overlapping colors of the phoenix's feathers are especially beautiful, and just having this makes the piece the star of the show ◎ ■ Cute ways to use it: [ ] Sew it onto a bag/pouch to make it one-of-a-kind [ ] Use it as an appliqué on a denim jacket or shirt [ ] Frame it and display it as a mini textile art piece [ ] Use it as a reference/collection for ethnic fabrics and designs ■ About the condition: ・As it is an antique fabric, there may be scratches, color unevenness, small stains, etc. ・As it was originally a part of clothing, there are sewing marks/loose threads on the edges (please check the photos) ※Recommended for those who understand handcrafts and antique fabrics. ■ Shipping: ・It will be protected and packed to prevent folding, and anonymous shipping is OK ・If you need the size, I will measure it and let you know. Feel free to comment. It's not just "beautiful," it's a piece that truly feels like "prayer" is embroidered into it. If you're interested, please take a look.
