Red and black embroidered thread accent the stripe, eyes, and claws of the tiger. The patch is a lighter blue with a nice bullion border and canvas backing.

6+ (Fine—Very Fine): The patch shows minor to moderate wear, a small spot of the fabric has worn away and shows the stiffener beneath, nearly all the bullion and thread details remain intact with overall handsome patina.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
