Puzzle Horse - 65cm Silk Scarf
In soft shades of blush and lavender mauve, four finely dressed dappled ponies prance and leap in an interlocking puzzle. The design pays homage to an illustration made during the Safavid Period of Persia (modern day Iran). Many iterations of this motif survive, one version of which can be viewed in the digital archive of the National Museum of Asian Art.
Surrounding the horses is a border dedicated to falconry, some of the oldest records and artwork of which are from Ancient Persia. Two falcons loyally encircle the horses, while a border of celestial bodies, ribbons, and horse tack twirls around the edges of this dusk-colored scarf.
This scarf was illustrated in full by guest artist Arlo Teague, a Bay Area tattoo artist and illustrator. If you'd like a matching tattoo or a paper print of this illustration, you can find information about both through their Instagram.
This medium-sized silk satin neckerchief looks fabulous loosely draped or knotted chicly at the throat, worn in the hair, tied to a purse strap, or styled in whatever other way you can dream up. The silk is mirror-printed on both sides of the fabric, so the illustration is perfectly vibrant from all angles, regardless of how you choose to tie it.
