The Meander Motif Art Gift Box contains:

✻ A set of 2 ceramic coasters featuring the Meander's motif design

A set of 2 ceramic coasters with the Meander's motif design. The Meander's motif, also known as the Greek Key symbol, is a sign of Greek style and taste, meaning a sophisticated, decorative pattern which adorned just about anything. Today it’s still very much the vogue. The Greek Key motif, usually a decorative border, embellishes jewelry, fabric, carpets, wall-coverings, carpets and magnificent buildings. The word meander, in Greek, meaning to take an indirect path, derives from the twisting and turning path of the Maeander River in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey); the 250-mile-long River, which Homer mentions in “The Iliad.” It also symbolizes a sort of strong hand clasp, used in ancient Greek gymnastics, wrestling and the pankration, a Greek form of martial art, as well as in battle. In Ancient Greece, the unbroken, interlocking pattern of the Meander (Meandros), or Greek Key, was one of the most important symbols. Why? It symbolized infinity, unity and the eternal flow of life through reproduction. The long, continuous line, repeatedly folding back on itself, resembles the perpetual flow of water, or waves, represents the eternal movement of Life. As a sign of continuation, the meander symbol corresponds with never-ending friendship, love and devotion.

✻ A Meander themed steel Keyring / Keychain

A minimal keyring with futuristic meander's motif design, made out of steel. A modern and lovely accessory for your keys with an easy opening. 

✻ Greek Lucky Eye Bracelet

In Greece there is a belief that Matiasma will cause misfortune or injury. Matiasma means “evil eye” in Greek, and is often shortened to mati which means “eye”. The classic Greek “lucky eye” symbol charm aims to ward off the effects of the Matiasma. Blue charms shaped like eyes worn on a necklace or a bracelet “reflect” the evil. The lucky eye is the most commonly talked about ancient tradition in the Greek Isles. Celebrate Greek culture with a Greek lucky eye bracelet in the blue and white colours of the Greek flag.
