I was inspired by vintage illustrations of mandrake roots. I drew this up, and made her a little bit more modern and majestic. Mandrake is part of the nightshade family and their roots are similar to the human form. According to literature, the plant shrieks in pain, when it is pulled from the ground. This shriek is able to make a person deaf. He might also lose his mind, or even be killed, if he is unprotected. Mandrakes typically have a purple flower and an orange-yellow berry. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1085304155/lady-mandrake-cross-stitch-pattern-pdf -- source link
