Wales Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch)
The Welsh Dragon (Welsh: y Ddraig Goch, meaning 'the red dragon'; pronounced [ə ˈðraiɡ ˈɡoːχ]) is a heraldic symbol that represents Wales and appears on the national flag of Wales.
As an emblem, the red dragon of Wales has been used since the reign of Cadwaladr, King of Gwynedd from around 655AD and is historically known as the "Red Dragon of Cadwaladr". Ancient leaders of the Celtic Britons that are personified as dragons include Maelgwn Gwynedd, Mynyddog Mwynfawr and Urien Rheged. Later Welsh "dragons" include Owain Gwynedd, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd and Owain Glyndŵr.
The red dragon appears in the ancient Mabinogion story of Lludd and Llefelys where it is confined, battling with an invading white dragon, at Dinas Emrys. The story continues in the Historia Brittonum, written around AD 829, where Gwrtheyrn, King of the Britons is frustrated in attempts to build a fort at Dinas Emrys. He is told by a boy Emrys, to dig up two dragons fighting beneath the castle. He discovers the white dragon representing the Anglo-Saxons, which is soon to be defeated by the red dragon of the Wales.
The red dragon is now seen as symbolising Wales, present on the current national flag of Wales, which became an official flag in 1959.

I'm super happy with this beautiful Owl Mandala transfer. It suits my car perfectly. If I could have bought a bigger one, I would've! High-quality printing and materials. I believe the transfer will be relatively weather-resistant. Only time will tell.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, as I am using these stickers as a decal for my ute doors. That being said, it is extremely affordable, and to get these done on another website I saw, they wanted to charge me over $100 for smaller. These stickers are amazing quality and well worth the money. By far exceeded my expectations and will do the job nicely. The stick great. The only thing I would change is instead of a cut out of each part, if they'd have the backing, sticker, then clear over the top for easy application because the moment I tore off the front to apply the sticker, the lettering stayed on the backing paper causing me to have to use the front as a boarder/stencil and carefully apply the lettering inside the lines. But either way, I'm very happy. Thank you. The printing was awesome. Top quality and no issues whatsoever. As I stated in the "what I thought about this product" section, The only thing I would change is instead of a cut out of each part, if they'd have the backing paper, sticker, then clear over the top that the front of the sticker sticks to for easy application in one go. Because the moment I tore off the front to apply the sticker, the lettering stayed on the backing paper causing me to have to use the front as a boarder/stencil and carefully apply the lettering inside the lines

The stick looks amazing. Unfortunately, it would not stick on our suitcase as it was textured. When we found a non-textured (smooth) suitcase, the sticker stuck and looks great. The printing looked awesome.
