An emblem relating to the worship of cosmic powers, the star and crescent is used in various civilisations from the Sumerians to Ancient Egypt.
The Babylonian cuneiform word shiptu (incantation) originally took a form very similar to the modern symbol and was used to ward off evil.
As the symbol of the Ottoman Empire, it took on the meaning of either the sun and moon or the moon and Venus (the Morning Star).
Inspired by this timeless symbolism, this hand-embroidered silk cushion reimagines one of history's most enduring celestial emblems as a contemporary talisman for the home.
Rendered in ice blue silk taffeta in our signature shade of Bosphorus Dawn, this decorative cushion is meticulously embroidered by hand with gold metallic thread using traditional techniques inspired by Ottoman embroidery, with a surface that is crisp and lightly structured, holding its form with a subtle lustre.
