This striking branch motif is found in many Greek folk embroideries, particularly those used for bed curtains or valances. The highly stylized branches feature a beautiful geometric complexity along with a bold color palette of copper red with black, light alizarin and two shades of blue-green. Shown finished as a charming wallhanging.
