"Legend of the Tree" Square Scarf

Like a breath of fresh air, you'll bring color and excitement wherever you go when wearing this scarf! Inspired by an authentic medieval legend, this scarf also has a story to tell, as dramatic and passional as its vivid colors. The "Legend of the Tree" is an old Italian tale of forbidden love between a queen and her bravest knight, both represented in the design as ceramic "heads" (traditionally produced in Southern Italy during the Middle Ages, and still produced to this day).During a storm, it is said that the queen, accompanied by an army of 100 knights on their horses, sought refuge under a huge tree in the still-standing village of Sant'Alfio, Italy. The chestnut tree was so old that its roots formed a cave, still visible today.
