Celebrate the mysteries of ancient history with this striking T-shirt inspired by the famous deer-shaped tattoo of the Siberian Ice Maiden, or the Princess of Ukok, a well-preserved mummy from the Altai Mountains from about 500 BCE, or 2,500 years ago. The mummy was discovered in 1993, buried within Siberian ground ice - permafrost. Her skin has been perfectly preserved and displays numerous unique tattoos.
This design brings to life the artistry and symbolism of Scythian culture, where tattoos were more than just body art—they were a storytelling canvas reflecting identity, spirituality, and connection to nature. The design depicts a deer with branch-like antlers covered with leaves or flowers - a traditional nature element of the long-gone culture.
Perfect for history enthusiasts, archaeology fans, or anyone fascinated by the enigmatic beauty of ancient civilizations, this T-shirt is not just a fashion statement—it’s a conversation starter and a tribute to humanity’s rich, timeless creativity. Wear it proudly and carry a piece of history with you wherever you go!
The original tattoo design of the Ice Maiden are the dark outlines. The filling was added by me for better visual effect. While it was tempting to add far more details, I believe that the modest modifications show respect to the ancient artist and that the final result is a good compromise between the ancient artwork and the present-day design expectations.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions! Also, please pay particular attention to the attached size guide and double-check your dimensions to ensure your purchase satisfies your needs and personal preferences, e.g. whether you prefer a regular or rather an oversized style. Due to the nature of on-demand production, I cannot accept returns or exchanges except in cases of errors made by me or my printing partners.
