Description: | This inscription reads 'SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS'. Translated from Latin this means 'the sower Arepo holds the circle'. This refers to the significance of the circle in medieval times, associated with agricultural superstitions in relation to the seasons. The text is a type of latin acrostic, a group of letters reading the same forwards as in reverse. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | other media makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
