Memento Mori Patch

Based on a medieval tomb brass found in a church in my hometown. Sometimes called monumental brasses, they decorated tombs normally inside churches. Some of the earliest are from 1300s.
 
This particular brass depicts the body decayed and inside a shroud. It served as a "memento mori" (a reminder that death comes to us all...) for the viewers of the tomb.

Screen printed sew on patch. White on black cotton.

This patch is:
12cm x 30cm/5" x 12" approx
Hand printed and cut
Printed with professional textiles ink and wash safe once ironed*
 
*Safe to hand wash. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
 
All my patches are printed on quality cotton (the weight of material used for a dress shirt), not canvas. My patches are hand printed and hand cut so expect variations in the cut edges. When I sew on my patches I like a frayed edge but for a neat edge you can fold the edges under when sewing.

Most patches will be folded to post, so just run an iron over it when it arrives.
 
Free shipping on additional patches!
