A striking, hand-embroidered accent pillow featuring a serene pair of Asian cranes standing in rippling water, surrounded by irises and reeds. Each detail is chain-stitched in richly textured wool — from the birds’ elegant necks to the soft movement of the water and the swirling sky behind them. The color palette blends soft moss, lavender, ivory, and black, with a subtle pop of rust red on the crane’s crown.

This piece was handmade in Kashmir, India, likely in the 1970s or 1980s, and retains its original tag on the reverse side. It’s backed in a natural cotton canvas with a hidden zipper closure and still includes its original insert. Though intended as a functional decor piece, the surface embroidery is nearly tapestry-level — a work of folk art in textile form.

Perfect for bringing a sense of calm, movement, and global craft into your space. It works equally well layered on a bed, chair, or bench — or displayed upright on a shelf among curated textiles and ceramics.
