Multi-layer, knot-stitch mitpachoth made of willow leaf-shapes embroidered with auspicious patterns

These types of mitpachoth mimic the graceful shapes of willow leaves, with one or two layers of embroidered patches that are connected together. The patches are usually arranged in groups of 6, 9, 12, or 20. In this piece, each of the two layers has 20 embroidered patches in the shape of willow leaves, embroidered with auspicious patterns such as plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, lotus flowers, peach blossoms, antiques, and pavilions. The changing seasons are depicted with connecting patterns of flowers from different seasons (forming a circle), representing endless seasons, and therefore longevity and eternal prosperity and fortune.
