Elephant's Foot

A traditional Hmong patterns, crafted in reverse appliqué - the sitches are so small, they are almost invisible!

" There is a design of the elephant's foot. It symbolizes the family unit. The foundation of Hmong life begins with the family. This design is very important in its representation of that family bond."
