Hand Of Glory Embroidery Hoop Art

This one of a kind piece features a detailed embroidered illustration of a Hand of Glory- a legendary practice in which the hand of a recently hung murderer would be used to light the way of would-be thieves in their wicked endeavours.
This folk custom has been whispered of throughout history, and the real Hand of Glory that inspired this piece (which found inside the walls of an old cottage) is on display at the Whitby museum in England.

This piece is created with vibrant 100% cotton threads and shimmering golden metallic thread on a base of heavyweight organic linen and is embellished with glittering red and black beads. Sent ready to be displayed in a walnut toned wooden hoop with gold hardware.

Dimensions - 6.5 x 4 inches.

Each piece is lovingly handmade to order, and one of the charms of buying handmade art is that each each piece will be completely unique. As a result your hoop may differ slightly to the one pictured.
