DescriptionIn Slavic folklore, Sirin & Alkonost are mythical bird-like creatures with a woman’s head and bust representing contrasting emotions and aspects of paradise. Sirin is associated with sadness and lament, while Alkonost embodies joy and happiness.According to folk tales, at the morning of the Apple Feast of the Saviour day, Sirin flies into the apple orchard and cries sadly. In the afternoon, the Alkonost flies to this place, beginning to rejoice and laugh. Alkonost brushes dew from her wings, granting healing powers to all fruits on the tree she is sitting on.
