This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Women of Amphissa designed from a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema shows a group of women from Phocis who historically were followers of Bacchus and after an event of ritual dancing, they had wondered off into Amphissa territory, specifically a marketplace, overnight where they slept. At this time, Phocis and Amphissa were at war.   Knowing this, the women of Amphissa took pity on the women from Phocis and graciously offered them nourishment and protection.  This is an example of one group showing kindness to another in spite of the fact that the other group were their enemies.  The pattern is done in earth tone colors.  Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
