Psychopomp Wall Hanging

[hermeticdog]

My fucking iPhone camera really doesn't do it justice.

I took a rook wing (legally taken in the UK), and attached a deerskin leather loop for hanging, then added hemp cord dangles with domestic dog bone and magatama. In mythology, the rook (along with the crow and raven) is considered a psychopomp, as is the dog. The magatama is seen as the representation of the soul.

Oh my gods. That is...amazing. O_O It's one of those pieces that really hits in some place for some unexplicable reason, you know?

If I had the extra cash I would pick that up. Then again, I don't think it can legally ship here. :/

Fuck, too late to buy.

Any chance you'll have a Rook piece in the future?

Which mythology is the dog considered a psychopomp in? I know the various legends of black dogs etc but I mean beyond those.
