T-SHIRT
H1991.12
Daffodil yellow T-shirt with short sleeves and round neck. On the front of the T-shirt is a silk screened design. There is a drawing of a large red prawn on the centre left of the T-shirt. The fine details of the prawn are black. On the right of the prawn is the following print: "DON'T COME / THE / IRRADIATED / PRAWN / WITH ME!". The words "THE IRRADIATED PRAWN" are printed in red ink. This little statement is a twist on the Australian colloquialism "Don't come the raw prawn with me". Below this is: "STOP FOOD IRRADIATION". Under this print is a small symbol which is the nuclear free symbol. Within it is a crossed knife and fork. Inside the neck of the shirt is a small white tag, on the front of which is: "SIZE 42 / 100% / COTTON / PEACOCK BRAND / MADE IN CHINA". On the back of the tag are the washing and ironing instructions.
