Quetzalcoatl Zafu

A golden Quetzalcoatl adorns this hand-painted meditation cushion ("zafu"). I used metallic gold acrylic paint to achieve this pattern, which was drawn free-hand with tailor's chalk from my own design. 

Quetzalcoatl Zafu. $150.

Quetzalcoatl is a god of ancient Mesoamerica; a feathered serpent associated with renewal, creation, and fertility, among other aspects of life. In the posture of eating its tail, this image of Quetzalcoatl alludes also to Ouroboros, a symbol recognized across many cultures. Ouroboros is usually a serpent or dragon consuming its own tail, symbolizing the universe, the absolute, unity, and the cycles of life. 

This zafu is 15" in diameter and about 7" tall, with a circular painted top measuring approximately 10". The fabric is black cotton, and the stuffing is cotton batting. There is a strap for easy handling.
