MITHRA I :: Earrings
In ancient Anatolian mythology, the tiger was often associated with divine power and protection. It was believed that the Anatolian Tigers were guardians of the forests, possessing the ability to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune to those who encountered them. These beliefs have been passed down through generations, becoming an integral part of Anatolian culture. According to ancient tales, the Anatolian tiger was often depicted as a symbol of power and royalty. Its regal appearance, with its striking coat and piercing eyes, made it a creature of mythical proportions.
One intriguing aspect of Anatolian tiger mythology is its association with transformation. In some stories, it is believed that certain individuals possessed the ability to shape-shift into tigers, gaining their strength and agility. These shape-shifters were often revered as protectors and warriors, defending their communities from external threats.
The influence of Anatolian tiger mythology can be seen in various aspects of Anatolian culture, including art, literature, and even architecture. Many ancient sculptures and paintings depict these majestic creatures, capturing their essence and paying homage to their mythical presence. Additionally, the tiger motif can be found in traditional Anatolian textiles and pottery, showcasing the enduring fascination with these mythical beings.
While the Anatolian tiger may be a creature of myth and legend, its significance in Anatolian culture cannot be understated. The tales and symbolism associated with these majestic creatures have been passed down through generations, enriching the cultural heritage of the region. Understanding the mythical beginning of the Anatolian tiger allows us to appreciate the depth and complexity of Anatolian folklore.

Please be gentle with your EFEK jewellery and do not apply lotions and perfume while wearing your gold plated pieces. Please also avoid water when wearing gold plated jewellery.
