Spice Village Basil House: 6 inches x 6 inches / Canvas Only

The Basil House from the Spice Village Collection, rendered in needlepoint with the nostalgic cottage details that have made these ceramic houses beloved for decades. This canvas is part of an ongoing series — each house is available individually, or they can be collected together to create a full village display. Some say the word “basil” is derived from the Greek word basilikon for “royal.” Others say the name basil was derived from Greek mythology - named after the terrifying basilisk, a half-lizard, half-dragon creature with a fatal piercing stare. Basil was a magical cure against the look, breath or even the bite of the basilisk.
