Vecza (Yapiven) hookah tongs are crafted in a bold, dark artistic style that immediately captures attention. Their silhouette is elongated and wedge-shaped, with sharpened edges that convey strength and severity. The dominant color is a deep matte black, serving as a backdrop for a contrasting light ornament. Visually, the object appears solid and monumental, despite its utilitarian purpose.
The surface is adorned with a detailed graphic pattern depicting tongues of flame, rendered in fine, precise lines. The ornament runs along the entire length of the tongs, enhancing the vertical dynamism of the form. The lines are smooth and fluid, evoking the image of living fire—a symbol of energy and sacred elemental power. At the center of the composition is a stylized emblem resembling a mask or visage, associated with the pagan deity Yapiven. This element imbues the design with a mystical, mythological quality, reinforcing its connection to ancient Slavic symbolism. Rendered with minimalism yet high expressiveness, the emblem becomes the conceptual focal point of the entire design.
Vecza (Yapiven) hookah tongs make a powerful impression as an aesthetically refined accessory with pronounced mythological and fiery symbolism—merging dark aesthetics, pagan imagery, and expressive artistic style.
