Snakeshead was originally designed by William Morris in 1876. The dramatic flame-like motif and alternating spiky clusters of foliage seem to be held in suspension by the delicate scrolling tendrils that form the pattern's background. Influenced by the colouring and patterns of Indian textiles, this design was one of Morris's favourites, taking its name from the nodding snakehead fritillary blooms.
