The Longship & the Serpent towel

For who could look upon the lions of the foe, terrible with the brightness of gold, who upon the men of metal, menacing with golden face, who upon the dragons burning with pure gold, who upon the bulls on the ships threatening death, their horns shining with gold, without feeling any fear for the king of such a force?

~ from Encomium Emmae Reginae (11th-century Latin encomium in honor of the English queen Emma of Normandy. )

The Longship & the Serpent 100% cotton hand printed towel.

This rustic, gets-softer-with-age cloth has many uses ~ a mindful alternative to paper towels, dish or hand towel, bath towel for baby, or a small table covering.

Pack one in your overnight satchel as a comfort of home. I use them as pillow coverings, hair wraps, and face towels when I travel.

Each cloth is hand printed. No two pieces are the same. Kindly allow for slight variations in color and print coverage.

Approximate size: 26 x 27 in - almost square.

Printed with non-toxic, water-based ink in deep red brown.

Care instructions: Machine wash in warm water with mild detergent. No bleach. Tumble dry low or line dry. They will get softer and more absorbent with age and use.
