Valkyrie, Unisex T-shirt, Richard Wagner Opera, Carl Doepler, 1876
Design is from a vintage illustration by Carl Emil Doepler in 1876 for an opera by Richard Wagner. In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the Valkyries take their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar (Old Norse "single (or once) fighters"). When the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the Valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses. -- Wikipedia Uniquely textured, thick microfiber knit fabric of this high quality T-shirt wicks perspiration rapidly away from the skin, drawing it to the surface where it quickly evaporates. .: 100% Polyester .: 6.0 oz fabric .: Tagless .: Runs true to size To find your size. lay out a t-shirt, that you know fits, flat onto a table top to measure.
