This tastefully designed cushion cover has been intricately hand embroidered from linen by artisans from Mathura, India. It features tassels along the corners as well as a concealed zip closure at the back. While artisans specializing in hand embroidery are fast losing out to the machine-made sector, they still hold on to their skill that has been passed down generations. This frequently used surface ornamentation craft employs extensive needlework to create stunning patterns and motifs. Archaeological findings like needles and embroidered fabrics dating back to 2000 BC, confirm the existence of needlework in India. The embroidery technique grew to remarkable heights under Emperor Akbar's rule in the 16th century because of the king's keen interest in the aesthetics of textiles. While embroidery may seem like a hobby for many, for the rural women of Mathura it is an integral part of their everyday life and often also their bread and butter. It is a skill passed down from a mother to her daughter.

Colour: Aztec Blue Multi

Material: 100% Linen

Measurements: 50cm x 50cm
