Phylakto Vintage Pillow

DESCRIPTION

Phylakto (Φυλακτό – Greek for “amulet” or “talisman.” A protective object, often embroidered, worn or placed in the home.)

With its tightly embroidered diamond medallions and bold directional motifs, Phylakto calls back to the amulets and textile charms once stitched into Greek dowries to protect and bless the home. Rendered in richly layered tones of eggplant, saffron, olive, and fig, the pillow bridges folkloric meaning and bold textile design.

Framed in hand-twisted cord and crafted entirely in wool, this is a statement piece—at once ornamental, symbolic, and soulful.
