The pointed shapes in this Renaissance motif lead your eyes inwards to central points and then back out again in a labyrinth-like fashion. Cyrran means “to come or go back; to change direction of motion” in Old English. The arrows in this motif come and go in a pleasing intersecting design that enwraps this comfortable and cozy neck cowl.
