Simply Noelle OS Blue & White Striped Lightweight Shawl Boho Slavic Motif NWOT

Simply Noelle OS Blue & White Striped Lightweight Shawl Boho Slavic Motif NWOT I was initially drawn to this because I loved the shades of blue, subtle silvery shimmer, and overall visual interest, but what made it really unique for me was the Slavic motif in the patterning. There are a million aesthetically “boho” shawls out there that lean into the popularity of “tribal/Aztec/southwest” designs, but you rarely see Slavic/Eastern European designs featured anywhere… a curiosity, when you consider the *actual* origin of the word “Bohemian”! (hint: It's an ethnicity) Anyway- I’m of Polish and Ukrainian descent and I immediately spotted the symbol for Mokosh (ancient Ukrainian mother-earth/fertility goddess) seamlessly woven into the patterning. She is commonly featured in traditional Ukrainian embroidery as well. If you’re not familiar, she is circled in red in one of the photos. The diamond-like pattern with internal crosshatching is also suggestive of Mokosh as this is traditionally symbolic of a sown/fertile field. The reason im letting it go is simple- despite cutting off the tags, I never wore it. At this point I think it’s unlikely I would if I kept it. Maybe someone else will appreciate it! Measurements forthcoming. If you need them asap, please ask. I’m happy to prioritize that for you! Offers welcome!
