About the T-Shirt Design
Image Source: Wikipedia
This intricate high-contrast design, printed on a blue, pre-shrunk cotton t-shirt is modeled after the Queen Mary Harp, a Scottish clarsach currently displayed in the National Museum of Scotland. This harp is believed to date back to the 15th century. It is one of the three oldest surviving Gaelic harps, the others being the Lamont Harp and the Trinity College Harp.
The Queen Mary harp is noted for being the most complete and best-preserved of all the old harps. It is covered in original and intricate carvings. The forepillar is elaborately carved with a double-headed zoomorphic figure and the instrument retains traces of pigment. Some traces have been analyzed and identified as vermilion. The decoration includes a number of pieces of Christian symbolism suggesting that the harp may have been made as a commission for a church or monastery.
While this t-shirt’s design does not incorporate zoomorphic figures, or the color red, it does faithfully re-create the spirit of the harp’s design so that you too can have a piece of Scottish music history emblazoned across your chest!
