Interesting. And, actually, he may not be far off the mark. http://www.cwo.com/~lucumi/ethiopia3.html

Now see, I wouldn’t have known the difference between Ethiopian and Medieval in this case. Either way, it is an awesome shirt!

Well, it look be medieval to me, too, so perhaps he’s closer than you think??

Technically, he’s right. It is Ethiopian, but with heavy Byzantine influence.
I’m an art historian. It’s my job.

oh but i can easily see the thought process. it really resembles a crest like you might see on a shield or banner and that he used such a specific word to describe the design and that he recognizes certain kinds of designs as evocative of that particular period….wonderful really!

I love that shirt. It is quite cool looking.

OK, I fell head over heels for that one! What a clever cutie you have!
And think he’s right — it does look a tad medieval to me too. Guess I’ll be joining him on that history lesson

My boy has a t-shirt with that cross on the front too!
Sometimes it takes momma’s magic ears to figure out what our kids are saying, what they mean and what they want.

You know – these are my very favorite posts of yours. I love picturing your accent. I have a bit of a crush on all things British (totally innocent, don’t be afraid). :0)

I love the design. I’d lean more towards middle eastern than medieval.
