Earthbound Whispers

This vintage embroidered patch was carefully collected from Miao communities, where it was hand-stitched decades ago for traditional garments and ceremonial use. The central motif reflects the ox — a symbol of strength, endurance, and deep connection to the earth in Miao culture. Framed with black cotton fabric, the piece is ready to display while preserving its authenticity.

The embroidery itself measures 10 ½” x 5 ½”, while the full piece with its fabric frame extends to 15 ¾” x 10 ½”. Subtle variations in thread and color carry the patina of time, giving this textile both artistic richness and cultural depth. Perfect as wall art, a collector’s treasure, or a thoughtful accent in your home.
