Z1 Round Needlepoint Ornament - New Mexico Flag Zia - Hand Painted Canvas 13 count mesh

$40.00

This will make the cutest ornament!

4 inch diameter round.

This is an original design, hand painted on the highest quality Zweigart needlepoint canvas.

If you're going to needlepoint this on a frame you should use 8 inch bars. I have taped the edges of the canvas with artist's tape so it doesn't snag your thread.

You need to provide your own threads and needle, as it is only the painted canvas that you're purchasing.

This is an ancient symbol of the Zia tribe, whose pueblo is still active here in New Mexico. They call it the sun symbol, but most other people call it the Zia, the Zia Sun, (or the New Mexico flag. Lol.) It has 4 groups of 4 rays. Each group of rays represents something different:

The four directions (north, south, east, west)
The four seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall, winter)
The four periods of the day (morning, noon, evening, night)
And the four steps of life (childhood, youth, adulthood, old age)

The circle at the center ties them together to represent love and life.

Your canvas will ship out within 1 week.
