Maitiú (Matthew) - Personalized Baby Blanket with Irish name Maitiú

Personalized baby blanket with the Irish language name Maitiú - a novel Irish gift for a baby shower, christening, birthday or Christmas.

Maitiú is the Irish for Matthew and is pronounced "mah-tee-ooh".

All elements are hand-drawn and include Celtic designs and calligraphy, as inspired by traditional art and the Book of Kells.

The letter M is decorated with a cat chasing a mouse (cat agus luch, in Irish). The inspiration for this is the drawings of cats and mice in the book of Kells, and also the poem “An Pangur Bán”, which was composed by an Irish monk based in Germany in the 9th century and is found in the Reichenau Primer manuscript. Pangur was the name of his cat and possibly means fuller (meaning one who cleanses woollen cloth) and bán means white. In the poem the monk praises his cat for his activities in catching mice.
