LESHY
The moon casts its light on this forest scene as baby blue leaves accent the navy blue background. Fluttering around the focal point of this silk scarf are two angelic larks who grace the Leshy – this time taking its more pleasant form as a large bear – while yellow-gold butterflies add to the ambience. This accessory adds definitive charm to an ensemble with its Slavic mythology motif.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
LESHY
Many an adventurer have lost their way. When a stroll takes one wrong turn too many and the lush leaves in the forest begin to feel suffocating, despair begins to set in. The whispers of the woods become increasingly louder until the adventurer feels a sense of loss both physically and emotionally. Those wanderers with a deep sense of respect for the environment in which they find themselves may just experience the hope of a transient nature.
From deep within the forest's soul, its guardian may appear to lead the wanderer out, saving them from the demons of darkness and those within.
Those who have encountered this being speak of what they saw differently, but one thing remains constant – they call it the Leshy. This primeval forest spirit can take one of two forms. Possibly mirroring your intentions and its duty, Leshy may reveal itself as a bear or, perhaps more terrifyingly to some, an old grandfather figure with the palest of skin. He walks among the trees, as his primary duty is to care after the habitat of those who call the forest their home. The taller the trees he surrounds himself with, the taller and more imposing a figure he is.
Even so, children lost in the forest will find themselves guided back towards their settlement. For these little ones, Leshy sets them back home with a few treats of nature, like berries or mushrooms. For those with malicious intent towards the creatures of the forest, Leshy is likely to confront them with a deadly fate.
A guardian of the forest and all its inhabitants, the Leshy takes its place in Slavic mythology as a being with benevolent intention. Leshy's benevolence towards nature draws two angels to the being, offering their protection and grace to this servant of the trees. Taking the form of larks, they flutter around Leshy, offering companionship through its duties.
A symbolic pattern, this design is hand-illustrated before experiencing a digital transformation. Get this element of fascinating Slavic folklore printed on luxurious silk scarves and accessories.
