Vecza (Mara) hookah tongs

Vecza (Mara) hookah tongs feature an elongated, dynamic silhouette that conveys hidden aggression and predatory grace. The matte black surface serves as a striking backdrop for the contrasting light pattern, creating a sharp graphic effect and visual tension. The overall impression is bold and mystical, as if the object possesses its own will and character.

The primary artistic focus lies in the detailed depiction of a mythical creature resembling a predatory spirit or a demonic visage. Sharp lines, jagged strokes, and angular forms generate a sense of motion and fury, as though the image is bursting forth from the surface. The eyes and mouth are rendered with particular intensity, amplifying the atmosphere of threat and power intrinsic to the image of Mara in Slavic mythology. The ornament is asymmetrical and deliberately “torn,” distinguishing these tongs from more ritually austere variants. This artistic choice emphasizes the chaotic, destructive nature of the figure, tied to themes of night, death, and the passage between worlds. The light pattern appears as if carved out of darkness, producing a sense of depth and visual contrast that captivates the eye.

Vecza (Mara) hookah tongs are a striking visual symbol inspired by Slavic-Belarusian mythology. Their design channels the energy of primal fear and power, transforming a simple accessory into an expressive art object with a dark aesthetic and profound mythological resonance.
