Hermès Les Legendes de l'Arbre Silk 90 Scarf By Annie Faivre

Legends of the Trees, Les Légendes de l’Arbre, is an intricate and fascinating design as it incorporates not just various trees but in their reflections the very symbols and legends that have accompanied them throughout the ages. Appearing by the scarf’s title is the apple tree and in its reflection we recognize the Golden Apples from the Garden of Hesperides, which according to myth were carefully guarded by the great serpent or dragon Ladon. In this Greek myth the apples represented immortality, which was strictly reserved for the gods. The oak has had a special place among the trees as it was once associated with only the most important gods such as Zeus and Jupiter.
