Regular price
$69.00
- Medieval cat pillow - cotton canvas pillow cover is a whimiscal gift for a true cat and history lover!
- Inspired by a famous Russian 18-th century "comic" (called lubok) about a cat, this playful design with a medieval flavor will equally satisfy your craving for style and curiosity for world history of craft!
- The hand lettered writings on edge (the fonts are carefully researched from Shakespeare's printed books and 17th century type in English and Russian) recite the original poem in both languages: Cat from Kazan, mind of Astrakhan, Siberian wit (...). Some sources say it was a political satire on the Russian Emperor Peter the Great.
- Objects depicted around the protagonist are derived from Eastern European folk tales and are of symbolic and magical meaning.
- The design was hand-painted in gouache and took several months of meticulous work. It may or may not have been inspired by my orange tabby cat Cosmo!
