Sloth in Turquoise & Gold Elephant with each edged in JapaneseBased on a 1774 illustration of Bradypus torquatus (Brazilian three toed sloth) from Die Saugthiere in Abbildungen Nach Der Natur. The sloth is 4. 75 inches wide, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall. Materials: Korean & Japanese papers, glass bead, and cotton floss on cotton paper.
