Serpentina

Serpentina

It is believed in ‘Old Secret Knowledge’ that when spirit of snake ‘Naga’ arrives in your life, it means he has come to bring healing opportunities, change, important transitions and increased energy into your life. It is also believed that an offering of Red Coral, Turquoise, silver and shell can be made to Naga to please and appease him.

Size 57 cm, 22 1/4 inc, UK hat size 7 1/8

Here we have a a stunning and striking piece, a Vintage silk top hat that is dressed in a fine Vintage snake skin. To the side of Serpentina is a row of old distressed brass buttons, each picked for their colour and imperfections, and a beaten and worn leather belt circles the base. The belt has been stamped with words selected in honour of the snake spirit, and to finish this stunning beauty is a charm, that hangs from the buckle, as an offering to the Great Naga spirit.

Miss Cherry T : This hat, as simple as it looks, was a challenge. Feathers, Ribbon or Sparkle had to be crossed out of the criteria of the look, as this hat was only ever about showing the beauty of the snake skin and nothing else, yet the skin on its own was not enough. With plain distressed leather and brass and much playing, Serpentia was born. Ssssssimply Sssssstunning and Sssssexily Ssssstriking.
