There once was a woman who lived in the fertile land of Wicklow at the foot of the mountains who had horns growing out of her head. Her name was Brigit and it was said she was a descendent of the Tuatha De Danan, the pagan gods of Ireland.
Local people were shy towards her but drunk men were bold. Even though her antler horns made her below the other women of the village, her beauty put her above all in the county. Brigit kept herself to herself but helped the sick people in the village by mixing powerful herbs to sooth aches, pains and emotional upsets.
One dark night a young man followed Brigit into the forest and as she picked her herbs, he expressed his burning desire for her. Brigit was frightened and asked him to leave her alone. Humiliated, he told the villagers how he had seen Brigit dancing naked for the devil under the full moon. The village shunned her, forgetting all the good she had done for them...

Full description

A unique stylish luxury cushion that not only looks individual, but tells a story too. The cushion comes with a label with a description of the image.

Part of the text on the label for Bridget:

"There once was a woman who lived in the fertile land of Wicklow at the foot of the mountains who had horns growing out of her head. Her name was Brigit and it was said she was a descendent of the Tuatha De Danan, the pagan gods of Ireland."

This is a piece of idiosyncratic art hand made in beautiful 100% silk with a curled feather inner cushion (from Streets of London) and a Black cotton backing which is piped and zipped to the highest quality. The silk is sourced and printed at one of the best silk printers in the UK and then hand-made by Enlightened Cushions using only the finest quality materials.

Dimensions: 34cm x 34cm

Washing instructions on label.

Please note: Pure silk can contain "slubs" running through the material. This enhances the texture of the silk and is totally organic and gives the cushion more of a one-off feel.

Shipped to the UK by First Class "Signed for" sevice (2-3 working days) and to the rest of the world by Air Mail with proof of posting (5-7 working days).

Designed by Susan Nolan in London
