Kutch Hand-Stitched Natural Pillow Cover

Product Description

This intricately hand-stitched and appliqued pillow cover adds a contemporary accent to your home.

The all-cotton fabrics used for the design applique are made by fellow Ajrakh artisans—Ajrakh is the traditional woodblock-printed cloth using natural dyes.  The various designs are stylized motifs of flowers, peacocks, scorpions, cats, trees, or other local plants. The pillow is edged with a thin black cord further accentuating the design. The back cover has no stitching; the closure is envelope-style made for ease of pillow insertion.
