Miss Mandrake
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

Who is this little character with an oversize head looking at us from below with captivating eyes? It is a mandrake, half-plant, half-woman, represented symbolically in this cross-stitch chart created by Barbara Ana.

The mandrake plant was used in witchcraft's magical rituals. The design shows a witch's coven - you can spot three witches in the lower part - but the emphasis is clearly on the mandrake that occupies the foreground, with a beautiful combination of colors and stylized shapes of leaves and fruit.
