I think the publication of this book, DAISY WHEEL, HEXFOIL, HEXAFOIL, ROSETTE. PROTECTIVE MARKS IN GRAVESTONE ART by Robyn S. Lacy, warrants the reappearance of the DingBat Signal, if any ever did. HT @indyfromspace.bsky.social.

My book that comes out in Sept is an examination of protective symbols, specifically the hexfoil and whorl, as used in mortuary contexts & in gravestone art! I did a study of gravestones in the northeast of the USA & Canada with them! www.berghahnbooks.com/title/LacyDa...

I love St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, & I especially love the C13th grave slab with a hexfoil on top & this hexfoil graffiti on the wall 😍 #orkney#archaeology#hexfoil

Robyn's hand is resting on the wall, with a silver ring showing a six-petal rosette or hexfoil. On the red sandstone wall is a hexfoil carved in lightly.
Robyn is standing against the wall, beside a tall grave slab from the 13th century, that has a six-petal rosette or hexfoil at the top of a stepped rod. There is a sword carved beside it. Robyn has red hair with short bangs and bobbed hair, and is wearing white glasses and a purple face mask, and a green button up shirt and jeans.
