These vintage Afghan Kuchi patches are utterly fabulous. The intricate beading, bright colors, and ethnic patterns blend together to create the perfect embellishment. All of the patches in this group measure around 4" to 5" in diameter and have a fabric base that can be sewed or glued to a substrate. You will select the style of your patch when you add it to your cart; colors and patterns will vary. (You may also see these called tikka medallions or beaded gul i peron patches.)
Please note - these are vintage pieces, and there is some wear and tear. I've made sure that none of them have extensive damage, but you can expect that there may be some loose threads, missing beads, and other signs of age. For me, of course, this adds character and is part of the appeal!

Choose your beaded medallion...
This style of patch is a gorgeously beaded square shape with one large focal mirror in the center. Colors will vary. Round mirrored patches are made the same way, only with a round shape - same large round mirror in the center and styles of beading.
|
The patch in front is the beaded patch with a fancy border and mirrored center. In the back, you can see the beaded patches with plain border (no mirrored centers.)
|
Here you can see the beaded squares, diamonds with fancy borders, and beaded hexagons. Colors and patterns will vary. (Beaded diamonds with plain edges are similar, but without the beaded fringe on the border.)
|
This style of Kuchi patch features a beaded area in the center surrounded by mirrors. The edges are either fringed with looped thread, or they have a raw selvage.
|
Here you can see the Kuchi patches (round - diamonds are sold out) made with colorful seed beads and at least one ring of delicate rice-shaped seeds.
|
This style of patch is made almost entirely of seed beads which wrap in circles around the center and have patterns made with different colors of beads. The edge is plain, and there's a small mirror in the center.
