THE SELKIE | Original Linocut Print

THE SELKIE Original Linocut Print, hand printed by The Coventina Press. This detailed, multi-block print, inspired by Scottish folklore, is perfect for art lovers who value handcrafted beauty. Every print is unique and will add some Selkie magic to any space.

The Selkie, or seal-folk are large mythical seals found in the Northern Isles of Scotland that have the ability to shape-shift in to human form. Many ancient folktales can be found about such creatures, many with motif of the skin of the selkie woman being stolen by a man and her being coerced in to a relationship for many years, unable to change back and regain her freedom and true self but forever yearning for the ocean and once she found her skin she would leave and never look back. A beautiful piece of women's art about the magical sea people and merfolk known as the selkies.
