Pair of Embroidered Green and White Elephant Cushion Covers - Floral Elephants Wool Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet craftsFrom Indian artisan Sajad, two elephants wearing floral blankets are embroidered onto this pair of cotton cushion covers using aari chain stitching. A hook, or aari is used instead of a needle, which results in large stitches with visually pleasing textures. The stately elephants are stitched on background whorls of mossy green, while the reverse sides of the covers are off white and include slits to insert cushions. 100% cotton, acrylic thread 0. 42
