Symbols on Banksy gift prints, by bigtlt on Jan 26, 2014 9:08:29 GMT 1, I was recently shown a Banksy gift print that had a series of symbols added.
Does anyone know anything else about them, what they mean or any pics?
I've been wondering what they meant and it's started to annoy me not knowing.

Symbols on Banksy gift prints, by jusdeep on Jan 26, 2014 9:27:36 GMT 1, There are threads on here somewhere on the subject, you just need to do a search.
From what I remember from a few years ago, mostly speculation and guesswork with a smidgen of historical fact, but nothing concrete as to why.
Here's one on the Lincoln piece on cardboard:

CND (Peace), @banksy, Love and the cross and dots.
These dots appear on other prints in forms, not sure if they have the same symbolisation or meaning.
I can remember Roman or Saxon coins having this mark .
Also an ancient symbol in Buddhismโฆ so maybe Mr B is a buddhist, or just plain godly.
