This design is a trefoil knot formed from braided ears of corn tied off with a ribbon. Currently displaying a version in golden corn and crimson pink. Other colours, stylings, sizes and orientations are available on request and you can even ask for a custom mixture of designs. Harvest festivals have been a tradition since the invention of agriculture - with grain species often playing a prominent role. In the east (vast expanses of Asia) the crop is rice and in the "New World" of the extreme west it's maize, but in the "old" central world (Europe from Africa) the main grains are wheat, barley, oats, rye and millet. It is also very common for human populations to attribute spirits to various parts of the natural world. On harvesting a field, a few ears were saved and woven into a corn dolly, with a hollow chamber to safely house this spirit, ready to be ploughed back into the field for the next year. Other braided tokens or "favours" were exchanged between lovers. Eventually these things ended up in churches too. … See my profile index or tags for similar designs: • knotwork (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/sef?shop_selection=tag&tag=knotwork)
