European Ornamental Holiday Stocking

Plush rust-orange stocking with a single stitched letter on the front.

This is an ornamental holiday stocking. It is embroidered fabric. Ornamental stockings are generally made as decorations rather than for wear, with rich fabrics and trim chosen for display near a fireplace or on a wall. Short, soft pile cloth stocking in deep amber-orange. A gold embroidered letter U, outlined in thread, sits at the center of the foot. A narrow gilt braid is sewn across the cuff and a twisted gold loop hangs from the top. It is 4 inches wide and 6 long.

One letter, neatly stitched, and no further explanation required.
