Hunan embroidery

Hunan embroidery, or Xiangxiu, has a history of at least 2,000 years. The art, which involves the use of silk thread to depict various images and patterns, has absorbed the spirit of Chinese paintings.

Xiangxiu renderings are usually more vivid than the original designs because of their three-dimensional effect.
