About this pattern

The Taj Mahal seen from the front in white, dark brown and pale blue. A large pointed dome with a finial stands over a tall arched doorway, with a small domed pavilion on each side of it and two arched niches, one above the other, in each wing. A banded minaret with a domed cap stands at each end of a long low platform, and below it a pale blue pool carries five white ripples. The left half mirrors the right exactly. The marble is stitched in white, so it shows best on natural or colored fabric. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 53 stitches and uses three thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,915 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Light Antique Blue 932, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938).
