Since ancient times, bees - especially honey bees, have been seen to symbolize industry, to bring messages from the Divine, to set an example, to be associated with the soul, and to bring the blessing of fertility. The bee piece starts with an embroidered background of honeycombs and bee icons that are stitched directly through a luxury bag or box. The bee itself is fully embroidered and mounted in relief. 

12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.
