Back when I started my first shirt series at Saga Shirts, I concentrated on taking recognizable symbols - many of them modern - and composing them out of dense thickets of Celtic knotwork. I really liked the results, but I found that it was a pretty narrow vein to mine. There weren't a whole lot of other symbols that fit the bill.
But here's one I didn't do then, and have wanted to do all along - the Peace symbol. think of this as that point where the 1960's collide with the 960's. Not that there was any sort of peace movement in the tenth century, mind you. But if you'd been a medieval monk hunched over his illuminated manuscript just when the Vikings (or your neighbors) came over the hill with torches*, you'd have found that there were worse things to wish for. And illuminate. Pretty much as it is today.
*Contrary to what you may think, medieval Irish records show that more churches were burned by Irishmen than by Vikings. Not that the Vikings didn't do it with a lot of style.
In the midst of raids by Vikings (and their neighbors), the monks who labored on intricate Celtic knotwork designs in illuminated manuscripts should probably have thought of this one: the Peace Symbol, composed of writhing knots and patterns.
Soft and comfortable, durable and thick, this 100% cotton t-shirt is made from 5.29oz fabric in a variety of colors and sizes.
The shirt is double stitched and has reinforced seams at shoulder, sleeve, collar and waist. Fairly produced, certified and triple audited, these imported shirts are printed in the USA.
