St Paul's Dome Cross Decoration

A handmade Christmas decoration made with a velvet material adorned with glass beads and gold threads.

The design takes inspiration from the interior of the dome of the Cathedral in the centre of the cross.

The Indian Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, the skills of which are handed down from generation to generation.
