"Indolic Endling" Silk Scarf
$25.00
A concise word with eons of corpses in its wake: the term “endling” refers to the last surviving individual of a species. It’s a somber little word for the creature that becomes a living relic of the demise of its kin. Perhaps by way of natural disaster, perhaps through the hands of human folly, these endlings wait in loneliness until the day they become elevated to scientific saints.
An entire species, distilled into a holy reliquary of arsenic-laced skin and feathers. A singular delegate for a subspecies, enshrined behind museum glass and perfumed in the ritual incense of mothballs.
Even more somber are endlings seemingly born of legend themselves, gone without notoriety or a body by which to remember. The Réunion pink pigeon is one such creature, a subspecies of Pink pigeon known only by one written reference by the French traveler Sieur Dubois in 1674 and a single humerus. We know not how the birds came to pass, and we have no final study skin to encompass the subspecies as a whole. Were it not for a single paragraph in a book, this endling would have remained an unnamed ghost of a species long since passed, without remembrance.
This is a 100% silk scarf emblazoned with my colored pencil work. 19" x 19" and double sided, this scarf is sure to be the crowning touch to any statement outfit.
To keep your scarf looking its best, remember to hand wash only and lay flat to dry, and steam iron on the nylon/silk setting. Not vegan.
