About this pattern

Two arrows crossed in an X with their points up, bound where they cross by a red wrap. Each arrow has a gold shaft, a gray steel head lit along its upper edge and red feathers tipped with white at the tail. From the binding one teal and white feather hangs straight down on a short cord between the two tails. Dark brown outline; the left and right halves mirror exactly. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 41 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 41 high: 740 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Old Gold 729, Red 321 and 4 more).
