Dacian riders carried a battle standard called the draco: a metal wolf's head fixed to a long fabric tube that filled with air at the gallop and gave out a low whistling note. Roman cavalry took the idea for themselves. The wolf on this towel belongs to that older tradition, facing straight out of the cloth with green gold eyes, white markings painted down one side of its face, a pale blue stone set in a copper diamond at the brow, a turquoise dreamcatcher hanging at the chest among feathers and brass beads, and two feathered staffs crossing behind it against a rust coloured sky.
Northern fighters picked the animal for how it works rather than for how it looks. Wolves hunt as a coordinated unit, hold their ground in front of prey many times their weight, and cover enormous distances without ever appearing to hurry. The Norse wolf-coats, the ulfhednar, took their name and their pelts from it. There is more on rank and leadership in alpha wolf, the leader of the pack.
Microfibre, 420 g, round with a fringed edge and a choice of 100 cm or 150 cm across. It dries fast once out of the water and machine washes at 30 degrees. The high quality digital 3D printing holds the contrast in the fur and in the eyes. More of the range sits in the wolf beach towel collection, and the same subject carries indoors through wolf decor.
