A grey t-shirt with a dark blue graphic featuring a round, smiling face with wings.

This hand-screened image is based on the headstone of Jane Chipman (d. 5 April 1775). A soul effigy, or winged cherub, the carving is attributed to “The Second Horton Carver”, believed by some to be the apprentice work of carver Abraham Seaman. The stone stands in the Burial Grounds at Chipman’s Corner, Nova Scotia.
