This authentic textile art panel showcases a stacked design of five monumental elephants meticulously rendered via traditional Shwe Gyi Do gold thread embroidery. Each figure is generously hand-stuffed with cotton padding to establish an impressive three-dimensional relief profile that catches interior lighting beautifully. The elephants feature contrasting lavender and sage green silk caparisons adorned with prong-set rhinestone cabochons, multi-layered sequins, and delicate glass seed beads. The entire composition is bordered by a continuous sequence of raised metallic wire rosettes featuring faux-pearl centers. The reverse is fully lined in solid black cotton protective backing and features four integrated wrap-around tab straps with hook-and-loop closures. This highly practical attachment mechanism is designed to wrap around a bamboo pole or standard drapery hardware, allowing the piece to hang with a graceful floating aesthetic. This piece measures 59 inches high by 24 inches wide inclusive of the outer black fabric trim. See less
