Baba Yaga, a character of many slavic fairy tales, powerful witch who lives in the old forest in the hut on chicken legs. The hut is able to turn around and walk, it's surrounded with a fence made of human bones and sculls. There are many metaphysical meaning to this witch and her hut. And one of them is a transformation. Baba Yaga kills your old weak self and helps you to transform and get a new spiritual life of Knowledge. The hut is often explained like a portal between worlds. You can find a lot of beautiful and mystical stories about Baba Yaga and her hut. She was my favourite character when I was a kid and stays my favourite. You can see different small details painted on the mug, like ravens, owls, small forest spirits, fern gold, massive tree of life, smoke, skulls of those who didn't manage...
This mug is about 150 ml, made of stoneware clay, hand built. I painted with underglaze, glazed the mug from both sides. Mug features a scull. This mug is high temperatures fired, thus will survive dishwasher and microwave, but I would very strongly recommend to handwash it and handle with love as so much time and work was put in it... This mug is one of a kind. I will create more mugs in this direction as I love this character so much. But every mug is handpainted, with different details so your will always be unique.
