A full moon fills the ground behind the wolf on this towel, and the animal reads as a black silhouette on a rock, head thrown back in mid howl. It is the quiet hour, after a pack has travelled and before the sky turns grey.Why the head goes upWolves howl to gather a scattered pack and to hold a territory, and the call is aimed at other wolves; the muzzle lifts because a raised head sends the sound furthest across open ground. What the full moon gives a travelling pack is company, since it is the one phase that rises as the sun goes down and stays up until dawn, lighting the whole working night. There is more on the sound in why wolves howl.Light behind the wolfA wolf carries a tapetum lucidum behind the retina, a mirror layer that returns light through the eye a second time, which is why those eyes flare in a beam and why a moonlit night is bright enough to travel by. High quality digital 3D printing holds the craters and the grey seas right across the face of the moon, so the disc reads as a body with weight rather than a plain circle, while everything outside it stays black and the cut of the wolf, ears, muzzle and tail, keeps a clean edge.Cloth, size and washingMicrofibre, 420 g, round in a choice of 100 cm or 150 cm across.
