[600] Sacred Silver Octopus in Defensive Posture Accent Pillow
Introducing 'Treasure Trove' collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing convergent media paintings inspired by modern and historical masterpieces, artifacts and other priceless treasures of human history. Here you will find pieces featuring a Sacred Silver Octopus in Defensive Posture.
The octopus is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusk of the order Octopoda. Around 300 species are recognized, and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the centre point of the eight limbs (traditionally called "arms", sometimes mistakenly called "tentacles"). The soft body can rapidly alter its shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight appendages behind them as they swim. The siphon is used both for respiration and for locomotion, by expelling a jet of water. Octopuses have a complex nervous system and excellent sight, and are among the most intelligent and behaviorally diverse of all invertebrates.
Octopuses inhabit various regions of the ocean, including coral reefs, pelagic waters, and the seabed; some live in the intertidal zone and others at abyssal depths. Most species grow fast, mature early and are short-lived. During breeding, the male uses a specially adapted arm to deliver a bundle of sperm directly into the female's mantle cavity, after which he becomes senescent and dies. The female deposits fertilized eggs in a den and cares for them until they hatch, after which she also dies. Strategies to defend themselves against predators include the expulsion of ink, the use of camouflage and threat displays, their abilities to jet quickly through the water and hide, and even through deceit. All octopuses are venomous, but only the blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans.
Octopuses appear in mythology as sea monsters like the Kraken of Norway and the Akkorokamui of the Ainu, and probably the Gorgon of ancient Greece. They are eaten and considered a delicacy by humans in many parts of the world, especially the Mediterranean and the Asian seas.

Beautiful colours, well made (pillow even has a zippered cover), soft, brushed cotton material. Perfect for a meaningful message that you want preserved. You can also choose the background colour to match your decor. I have it on my bed, complimenting my other pillows. It's a lovely gift idea - I got it for myself and love it!
MEW. Printing was perfect!
