Phaistos Ritual: Minoan Black & Red Sherpa Blanket シェルパブランケット

Tired of throws that fade into the background? Make a legendary statement and sink into supreme comfort with the Phaistos Ritual: Minoan Black & Red Sherpa Blanket! This ultra-plush Sherpa throw is a stunning piece of wearable art, drawing inspiration from the powerful, graphic, and geometric designs found in the ceramics and ritual artifacts of the Minoan civilization on ancient Crete. The design features bold, alternating vertical bands of patterns, including repeating chevron triangles, stylized wave chains, and dense crosshatching in a dramatic palette of black, rich red, and creamy white. This stark, compelling color scheme evokes the sophisticated ornamentation often found in the royal apartments of the Palace of Knossos. The patterns on this blanket are reminiscent of the dynamic and rhythmic artwork that characterized Minoan culture (c. 2700–1450 BCE)—a people known for their love of design, athleticism, and refined textiles. Did you know the Minoans were a thalassocracy, a sea power, whose cultural influence spanned the entire Aegean world? One side features the striking, detailed Minoan design, printed in vibrant, enduring color. The reverse is lined with irresistibly soft, cloud-like Sherpa fleece, offering unmatched warmth and comfort. Perfect for adding a dramatic, museum-quality focal point to your sofa, armchair, or bed. This makes an excellent, cultured gift for history buffs, art lovers, or anyone who seeks to blend ancient grandeur with modern luxury. Wrap yourself in the ritualistic splendor of the Bronze Age!
