The intricate feathered headdress demands careful attention to detail across the upper half, while the defined facial features and ornamental earpiece add dimension to the counted cross-stitch design. Ideal for Aida fabric and DMC threads, this square-format piece works beautifully as a framed wall accent celebrating Indigenous heritage and craftsmanship.
