Portuguese Garden Oblong Scarf*The Met Store New

An art-inspired fashion scarf, only at The Met.

The fanciful scene on this eye-catching scarf comes from a 17th–18th-century Portuguese panel made of silk and housed in the Museum’s European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collection. Creatures of the land and sky rest in verdant grasses, perch on tree branches, and bathe in a fountain inhabited by a mythological siren, distinguished by her crown and twin fish tails. In antiquity, legend had it that sirens would lure sailors to their death with a bewitching song.
