Pomegranate Cerulean 100% pure silk twill scarf

Symbolism of the Pomegranate: Myths, Legends, and More

The pomegranate, with its vibrant red seeds and sweet-tart flavour, holds deep symbolism and is steeped in mythology across various cultures. In ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate is associated with Persephone, the goddess of spring and queen of the underworld. According to the myth, Hades tricked Persephone into eating pomegranate seeds, binding her to the underworld for part of each year. This act symbolizes the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, making the pomegranate a powerful emblem of nature's eternal cycle and the changing seasons.

In ancient Persia, the pomegranate was revered as a symbol of life and fertility, and it played a significant role in wedding ceremonies, where it was believed to ensure a prosperous marriage and many offspring. In Chinese culture, the pomegranate is a symbol of fertility and prosperity, often depicted in art and given as a gift to newlyweds to wish them many children. In the Jewish tradition, the pomegranate is one of the seven species mentioned in the Bible, symbolizing righteousness because it is said to contain 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 commandments of the Torah.

The pomegranate, native to many parts along the Silk Road, contains an abundance of luscious seeds within - the juice of which was once said to be given to warriors of the Great Emperor Amir Temur, so they may taste the blood of their enemies before battle.

This scarf features a display of pomegranate motifs, hand-drawn by House of Rolfe and beautifully printed onto 100% silk fabric. The rich shades of deep crimson and luscious burgundy emulate the ripe pomegranate fruit, while delicate hints of golden accents add a touch of opulence.
