When you know you are absolutely exquisite yet completely fierce this t-shirt is for you. Unleash your inner lion or lioness with this beautiful 13th century medieval Seljuk motif which originally appeared on a ceramic plate. The Arabesque wanted to capture the beauty of that magnificent historic work of art and bring it to our customers with this one-of-a-kind t-shirt. We coupled that historic motif with the words of one of the most famous poets of the classical Arabic world, al-Mutanabbi. In his verse, written in a kufic style script surrounding the lion motif, he says humorously, "When you see the teeth of the lion protruding, do not assume that the lion is smiling." This t-shirt was designed for all of us who strive to be exquisite, positive, and beautiful to all yet in our journeys, goals, and endeavours are as fierce as a lion. This t-shirt is perfect for historians, history lovers, cat lovers, medievalists, artists, lion lovers, safari goers, and just all around magnificent people young and old. Designed and sold exclusively by The Arabesque.
