European Ornamental Holiday Stocking

Forest green ground, a peach flower with a star in its heart.

This is an ornamental holiday stocking in suzani fabric. Suzani designs generally feature large floral medallions, vines and sun or moon shapes, worked in bright silk or cotton thread on a plain ground. A small stocking with a dark green face and a large peach-orange flower stitched near the cuff, a star shape at its center. Tan scrolling shapes curl around the heel. A ruffled pink band wraps the top, with a cream cord loop above. It is 4 inches wide and 6 long.

A garden party the size of a pocket.
