About This Piece

This print is taken from an original art work inspired by a demonic entity from Welsh folklore. Yr Hwch Ddu Gwta would be the bogeyman used to scare children home. On Nos Calen Gaeaf, the Welsh Halloween, children and adults would race home to be safe from the giant sow following some bonfire divining. He would devour the souls of the last person home that night, an entity striking fear into the hearts of those who knew the tales. This monstrous black sow was often accompanied by the White Lady, who was sometimes headless and sometimes not. It all depends on which stories you believe and which part of the country you came from…

The unframed print is available in 3 sizes:
