The tip of Mount Fuji can just be glimpsed behind the heaving tide. The upper portion of the design features a ragged section of an illustrated manuscript detailing various ornate arrowhead designs.

Glossy cowbirds have settled upon his back, and while usually lively, they now rest, calm and quiet. The delicate prairie grass dances at the bison’s feet, and he paws the ground gently, just once. His longing eyes raise to meet mine for a second, before his gaze drops to the earth once more.

The central motif was first inspired by the incredible dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and recognises the commercial decimation of the American Bison from 60 million to just 541 by 1889 in an attempt to subjugate the Native American population. The last bison in Oklahoma county was killed in 1876, a date noted within the design. The illustration features details inspired by hand-laboured American Folk Art objects such as weathervanes and carved decoys. It also references hand-painted parcheesi boards from the American Civil War era; pastimes often painted with rural homesteads and reminders of a simpler life. The design also contains many symbols, signs and flags from fraternal society paraphernalia, which have been re-worked and re-purposed to serve as objects of natural reverence, worship towards the earth, including the Eye of Providence. The beehive flag is symbolising our collective need to work together to protect the natural world, the tent flag symbolises the protection we must offer all species, and the two pillars represent the strength and stability required to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wild Americana","offers":[{"title":"Sanguine\/Silver \/ Brown","offer_id":46873151832305,"sku":"SS-WAM-025","price":515.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chambray\/Stone \/ Blue","offer_id":46908282339569,"sku":"SS-WAM-026","price":515.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/9344\/6038\/files\/SecretsofTheBisonSilkRectangle-Sanguine-Silver-OnModelBack.jpg?v=1756909396"},{"product_id":"the-medici-cheetah-silk-twill-rectangle","title":"The Medici Cheetah Silk Twill Rectangle","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom an arched lunette high in the castle turrets, The Medici Cheetah reclines languorously. The scene below is an unfinished fresco bathed in hazy light. Once the province of Gods and birds, this ethereal aerial view presents a forbidden landscape of promises; the Elysian fields, a surrealist earthly paradise with a Babelian tower. Unblemished, soft white petals contrast with luminous, glassy fruits: purity and blood. Columbines crown the captive cheetah’s head, while the noble dove brings news.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medici Cheetah was inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings and cultural events alongside beliefs and attitudes of the era; the dichotomy of idealism versus naturalism opening a portal to landscapes of fantasy, a ‘New World’. Within a scene largely inspired by The Arrival in Bethlehem by Master LC, we find mythological or fantasy buildings such as the Tower of Babel (Bruegel The Elder), juxtaposed with real architecture from Medici Florence and its surroundings, such as The Tower of Pisa, the Basilica di Santa Croce, and the Battistero di San Giovanni. Our feline protagonist lounges in the foreground, reclining like Titian’s Venus D’Urbino, the languid, skyward gaze a common feature of Renaissance portraiture. Late in 1487, the sultan of Egypt presented a female giraffe to Lorenzo de' Medici, which appears within the landscape of this design preparing for the carnival, with several other impressive but nonindigenous creatures. Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights also contained a giraffe, an elephant and a leopard, alongside anachronous plants, red fruits, and flowers, here in the form of white tulips, cherries and pomegranate, symbolising the blood and flesh of Christ and illustrated in the fashion of Schreiber’s illuminated manuscripts. During the Renaissance, the columbine was primarily a Christian symbol, particularly associated with the Holy Spirit due to its dove-like appearance. The banded sky references a 1465 painting, La Divina Commedia di Dante, by Domenico di Michelino, located in the Florence Cathedral.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe whimsical text within the design is a play on Titian’s The Venus D’Urbino.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fairytale Di Firenze","offers":[{"title":"Morello\/Mint \/ Pink","offer_id":47725727875313,"sku":"SS-FDF-029","price":515.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Musk\/Maraschino \/ Blue","offer_id":47725727908081,"sku":"SS-FDF-030","price":515.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/9344\/6038\/files\/TheMediciCheetah-SilkRectangle-MorelloMint-OnModelBack.jpg?v=1769520948"},{"product_id":"chasing-the-pearl-silk-twill-rectangle","title":"Chasing The Pearl Silk Twill Rectangle","description":"\u003cp\u003eChasing The Pearl was inspired by the dragon; the oldest and most meaningful of all animals represented in Chinese art. The Chinese dragon is a revered and auspicious creature, distinct from its malevolent Western counterparts. While traditionally portrayed front-facing as a symbol of imperial prowess, it is often depicted in side profile to display its benevolent side, symbolising the protection great power wields. One of the most prominent categories of Chinese dragon painting is ‘chasing the pearl’, depicting a dragon or pair of dragons in playful pursuit of a glistening pearl. The pearl symbolises spiritual energy, wisdom, prosperity, power, immortality, thunder, and the moon, while round shapes were associated with heaven. The corners of the design feature a combination of pine, bamboo, and spring-flowering prunus; a common Song era pairing. Stylised clouds represent a kingdom at peace, and bows represent divine nature. A jade carving of a dragon chasing a pearl features in the lower right corner of the design; Jade is considered the ‘stone of heaven’, a bridge between spiritual worlds.
