Komboloi with Mati

Created as a ‘Do not disturb’ door hanging for a hotel in Paros, this colorful, traditional Greek, oversized komboloi, is perfect to hang on your wall, lay across some books on your coffee table, or place it on your bedroom door when you’re in for a long night of Sappho readings.

The komboloi can traditionally be seen used by Greek men in the kafeneio or coffee shop, to while away time, and tension. Vintage glass beads are accented by solid brass beads, hand-strewn on leather cord, and accented by a solid brass mati (evil eye) to ward off evil spirits.
