Steer Skull Feathers and Axes Patch - 10.5x12 inch

The embroidered patch features a design that combines elements of Native American symbolism with a rugged, warrior-like aesthetic, centered on a buffalo skull. The buffalo skull, facing forward, is stitched in shades of white and gray with black shading to emphasize its hollow eye sockets, nasal cavity, and horns, giving it a stark and weathered appearance, often symbolizing strength and resilience in Native American culture. Adorning the skull is a headdress of feathers, fanning out in a semi-circle above, with feathers in white, brown, and orange, accented by small red and blue beads along the band, adding a traditional and ceremonial touch. Two feathers, one on each side, hang down from the headdress, each with a mix of blue, red, and white colors, further enhancing the Native American motif. In front of the skull, two tomahawks are crossed in an "X" shape, with wooden handles stitched in brown and gray blades, adding a sense of battle-readiness and tying into the warrior theme. The patch has a black background with a black zigzag stitch border that follows the irregular contours of the headdress and tomahawks, set against a dark fabric surface, likely denim, which makes the colors stand out. This patch, with its buffalo skull, headdress, and tomahawks, likely appeals to those with an appreciation for Native American culture or a rugged, Western aesthetic, intended for decorative use on jackets, vests, or bags to convey a sense of heritage and strength.
