Altar Cloth Moon And Sun

• The moon and sun motif sits at the centre of the design, two of the oldest symbols in human visual culture, representing cycles, duality, and the passage of time.
• The cotton fabric lies flat and drapes softly, giving a clean, settled look on a shelf, table, or floor space.
• The print is clear and defined, making the design readable even at a distance.
• At 36 g, it folds down to almost nothing and travels easily.

The cloth is made from cotton and produced in India, a country with a long tradition of printed textiles. Cotton is a practical choice for this kind of object: it lies flat, takes print well, and is easy to fold and store between uses.

The pairing of sun and moon appears across many traditions as a symbol of complementary forces, light and dark, active and receptive, the solar and the lunar. In Hindu iconography, Surya (the sun) and Chandra (the moon) are among the oldest deities; in Western esoteric and Wiccan practice, the sun and moon together represent the God and Goddess, the full cycle of existence. As a printed motif on a cloth used to mark a ritual space, the design carries that long history of meaning without belonging to any single tradition.
