About This Design
Assyria, Lamassu, Winged Bull, (Color) T-Shirt
Lamassu, (also known as Man Headed Winged Bull, or Lion), were colossal statues placed in pairs, at each side of the entrance of ancient Assyrian palaces, as protective guardians from evil spirits. The crown represented royalty, the human head represented intelligence, the body of a bull (or lion) represented worldly power, and the wings of an eagle represented heavenly aspirations. Those statues had five legs, (creating a visual illusion when looked upon from different angles). A person entering the palace would see the front two legs of the bull in a stationary position, while on the way out, he would see the side view of the bull with its four legs in a walking pose, implying that to enter the palace, a person was required to stop and get the permission from the guards first, but on the way out, no permission was needed. The 4-Pointed Star emitting rays that sustain life on earth, is that of Shamash (or the Sun). Later in Christianity, this symbolism was paralleled in the four Evangelists, where St. Matthew was associated with the image of a human, St. Mark with a lion, St. Luke with a bull, and St. John with an eagle, those creatures when combined they form the Lamassu.

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
