Soof Embroidery is a traditional counted-thread embroidery practiced by women of the Meghwal community in the Kutch region of Gujarat. It is created by counting the weave of the fabric rather than drawing patterns, resulting in precise geometric designs. The embroidery is usually worked with silk threads on handwoven cotton fabric, often without any mirrors. Soof motifs are inspired by nature, including flowers, buds and abstract forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the composition stands the multi-tiered trunk, closely intertwined with stacked geometric modules that taper upward to form a sharp, unified triangular silhouette. The base spreads wide, built from a dense pyramid of interlocking triangles stitched in a vibrant spectrum of pink, orange, blue, yellow and bright green silk threads. Rising up the spine of the piece is a series of stacked diamond blocks containing reflective abhlas (circular glass mirrors) bordered by purple frameworks. Six perfectly balanced mirrors flank the central axis in pairs, adding luminosity and texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe upper section of the piece forms the branches, leaning into the sky with a colourful pillar. This is flanked by elongated, vertical bands of yellow and purple satin-stitch lines, which are topped by a delicate crest of pink, green and blue micro-triangles. Branching outward symmetrically along the entire height of the tower are stylized, geometric “arms” ending in traditional soof points, giving the central motif a sense of dynamic expansion across the canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textile features the Soof school's signature absolute precision, using tight, multi-directional satin stitches to give the flat threads a volumetric presence that catches the light like silk ribbons. The colour palette relies on a striking contrast between the vibrant jewel tones of pink, purple and blue against the warm accents of orange and yellow, all grounded beautifully by the minimalist backdrop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daya Ben","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48985102188758,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Tree_in_Soof_Embroidery_by_Daya_Ben.png?v=1783583119","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/tree-in-soof-embroidery-by-daya-ben","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
