A crepe de chine scarf inspired by the Butrint mosaic pavement in Albania.

The intricate design of this beautiful scarf has been taken from the remarkably well-preserved mosaics found at the 6^th century baptistery at the Butrint archaeological site in Vlorë County, Albania. The mosaics are thought to have been created by the renowned mosaicists from the ancient city of Nicopolis, in modern day northern Greece. The floor features repeating circular designs of animals and Christian iconography, as shown on the length of the scarf, while the end details show two peacocks drinking from a kantharos cup.

An extraordinary gift celebrating ancient art and craftsmanship.
