Celebrate the winter season with this hand-carved, hand-pulled linoprint featuring foliage to symbolise the Holly King - a powerful symbol of the turning of the seasons. This intricate star design captures the essence of the winter yule celebrations that mark the peak of mid-winter and moving towards the return of the light. The concept of the Holly King - king of dark, and the Oak King - keeper of the light months of the year, is a relatively new construct, but speaks to the ancient Norse celebrations of Yule.
Enjoy this print on its own or pair with the Oak King print.
Each print is handmade using traditional techniques making every piece unique. Printed with oil based archival quality inks, onto soft white snowdon cartridge paper, in a warm seasonal burgundy brown.
This nature and ritual inspired artwork is perfect for adorning your space during Yule, the winter season, or or year round.
Ideal for nature lovers, seasonal decor, folklore fans, unique and unusual gifting, or those just looking for handmade and meaningful home decoration.
This 7x5” image is mounted into a 10x8” Larson-Juhl acid-free bevel edge mount in Snow White, ready for you to frame in a standard 10x8” frame. The mount is complete with an acid-free backing board, and will be delivered to you in a protective cellophane wrapper complete with Raw Alchemy branding, making it ideal for gifting. Frame not included as it's more cost effective to post and there are so many variants!
Prints and colour may have subtle variation due to the hand made nature of the printing process which makes each print one of a kind. The small marks and flecks of the print are known as ‘chatter’ and are characteristic of linocuts.
