A wax figurine, 'Trypillian Mother of Fertility,' created by the 'Valkovsky Family Candle Workshop'—a craft brand inspired by the beauty of nature, as well as the traditions and daily life of the Ukrainian people.
The figurine is lovingly hand-sculpted from 100% natural beeswax.
The figure of the Mother held a central place in the mythology of the legendary Trypillian culture (6th–3rd millennium BC). For these ancient farmers, the Great Goddess was the embodiment of the power of Nature itself—Mother Earth—who bestows life, ensures an abundant harvest, and protects the kin from misfortune.
A distinctive feature of artifacts from the Middle Trypillian period is their graceful, refined form, characterized by the detailed curvature of the back and hips. The lines are more dynamic, emphasizing the beauty and majesty of the feminine principle. The heads of these figures are typically round or disc-shaped, often featuring small punctured holes representing eyes, or a distinct, applied nose.
The use of natural beeswax imbues the figurine with a special energy. Beeswax is considered a natural 'cleanser' of one's surroundings; it has long symbolized purity, sunlight, and a deep connection to the natural world.
This figurine makes for a wonderful ethnic-inspired gift, a unique interior accent, or a cherished family talisman, bringing into your home..." harmony, coziness, and a connection to ancient Ukrainian roots.
