The Lady With the Shahmaran Figureby *Hermetic-Wings

Photography / Photojournalism / Documentary & Editorial

Shahmaran is a mythical creature from the folklore of southern, central and eastern Anatolia, Iran and Iraq. The name of Shahmaran comes from words "Shah" and "Maran". "Shah" is the Iranian title for a king, primarily the leader of the Iranians and their land and "Mar" means snakes in Persian. In plural "Mar-an" means "snakes"
....
In Turkey, Shahmaran is believed to live in the Mediterranean town of Tarsus. ( taken from Wikipedia)
......
.....
In my childhood young girls were using Shahmaran figures for fertility. So you might see king of the snake at houses so often once ago...This is taken me to a half century ago...
Kisecik-Seydisehir-Konya / Turkey
Thanks for

Oh dear friend...Thank you so much!
ıt is normally applied to the glass painting materials. But a lady did it for me so I have it now for myself. I am so curios to capture an artist while he/ she is creating a Shahmaran figure... So I am also very happy to have a note from you my dear friend
