St. Nicolas Votes for Women Red Suffragette Ornament

Product description

The Suffragist movement advocated voting rights for women in the early 20th century. This suffragette is wearing a long red dress with a black and white sign promoting "Votes for Women" and a black hat with a white plume.

St. Nicolas bespoke, handmade ornaments are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery, which originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. This highly skilled embroidery technique uses gold wires and jewels for embellishments. Today, only a few skilled artisans can create these pieces, making each unique. Since 1988, St. Nicolas has worked with a small Christian charity in Thailand that helps disadvantaged rural women find work in their community.
