Ulysses and the Sirens by John William Waterhouse Lumbar Pillow
Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) by JW Waterhouse is a vintage Victorian Pre-Raphaelite fine art mythological painting.
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Seirenes) were Naiads, or sea nymphs, who lived on an island called Sirenum scopuli which was surrounded by rocks and cliffs. Approaching sailors were drawn to them by their enchanting singing, causing them to sail on the cliffs and drown.
Odysseus escaped the Sirens by having all his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He was curious as to what the Sirens sounded like. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they ignored him. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus stopped thrashing about and calmed down, and was released.

I am the designer and I also ordered this pillow for myself. I love it and I want to order more from the series of Henri Rousseau pillows that are in my shop. It's smaller than I thought it would be but I still love it. I need to get the square size next.
The zipper is hidden. Inside the edges are sewn so they won't unravel. It's exceptionally well made and that's rare in today's marketplace. It says something GREAT about products made in the USA. I like that the company is supporting single moms. They're putting their heart and souls into these products. Much gratitude to them for producing quality. It's bright and vibrant. The orange lilies stand out against the darker blues and greens. The back of the pillow with the palm leaves is particularly nice. I need more and I want to order some of the square pillows. These make a room. Love it. It goes well with my orchids.

I love this pillow that is personalized with Mr & Mrs. The quality was upgraded to the cotton and its very nice and durable. This will last for many years to come and the lucky couple will remember how special this is ever time they see it. I love that the color is subtle over the color of the pillow, yet prominent to see the established date of the wedding.
