A wonderful souvenir gift for a foreigner - to preserve a beautiful memory from Bulgaria.

The motif recreates two birds (peacocks or roosters) located on either side of the Tree of Life. According to tradition and old beliefs peacocks and peacock feathers protect against the evil magic and bad eyes, which is why they are often part of a variety of customs and rituals - weddings, christenings, they are put on the clothes of children and girls. The cock is perceived as a servant of the sun because its song announces sunrise. In general, the motif of the Tree of Life, surrounded by two birds, symbolizes family and family well-being and happiness.
