SNAKE & HERB — Hand-tufted rug for wall decor. The carpet is made out of six colors acrylic yarn, pompoms and backing cloth. It also contains glue, a built-in wooden slat at the top of the back side and a hanger.
The rug portrays the mystical serpent, a powerful symbol of the divine feminine’s universal earth energy. Across local Bulgarian folklore and worldwide beliefs, the snake has been a crucial figure with profound mythological importance. In ancient times, people often linked snakes with healing. As an embodiment of chaos, fertility, and wisdom, the snake represents both fire and water, earthly and divine, as well as death and rebirth.
Maintenance instructions: Do not wash. Do not dry clean. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
THIS RUG HAS BEEN SHOWN PUBLICLY IN THE FOLLOWING EXHIBITIONS:
