The Eye Watches Evil Eye Doormat

Lay this evil eye doormat at the front door and let two watchful eyes greet everyone who knocks. A protection welcome mat for apartment entries and covered porches, it reads The Eye Watches in cream and gold lettering on deep black, a quiet promise that this home is looked after. A memorable housewarming gift for the witchy friend, the psychic, or anyone who keeps a nazar by the door.

✦ MATERIALS & PRODUCT DETAILS ✦

✦ The illusion: a high definition printed design that imitates the look of hand embroidery. There is no stitching; the artwork is printed flat onto the mat face.

✦ Surface: 100% polyester low loop pile, about 0.20 inches tall, so most doors swing over it with ease.

✦ Backing: non-slip rubber that keeps the mat in place on tile, wood, and concrete.

✦ Finish: a clean black border trim on all four edges.

✦ Sizes: 18" x 27" for apartment doors and narrow entries, or 24" x 36" for standard front doors and porches.

✦ Placement: indoors or on a covered porch.

✦ Made to order especially for you.

✦ THE DESIGN ✦

Two almond shaped eyes with layered blue lids and gold ringed irises hold the center, each pupil catching a crescent of light. Gold scrollwork curls through the corners, a thin gold rule frames the black ground, and a small gilded bird spreads its wings at the base. The nazar, or evil eye, has guarded thresholds from the Aegean to the Levant for thousands of years, meeting envy and ill will with an unblinking gaze.
