Acquired from Hungary in 2017. This is a carefully embroidered piece on high-quality, soft, off-white fabric specifically for cross-stitch. One wonders how much time it took to complete this cross-stitch. It evokes a sense of romance. Although it uses only red and blue, it has a powerful presence despite its simplicity. Only one string is attached. Wearing it over denim would allow you to express a unique individuality. Because of its classical elements, it would be wonderful framed and displayed on a wall, where it would have a strong presence. This is a used item, so there is a sense of wear. It has the unique texture of linen, with slubs and flecks of yarn mixed in, which is part of the fabric's character. This item has traveled across the sea and through time from a distant land, and it possesses power and luck. It is a one-of-a-kind piece, a lifetime treasure. I hope it will be passed down to future generations.
