The symbol is known as the Shield of the Trinity and is a traditional Christian visual symbol which expresses many aspects of the doctrine of the Trinity, summarizing the first part of the Athanasian Creed in a compact diagram. In late medieval England and France, this emblem was considered to be the heraldic arms of God (and of the Trinity). The link is to Wikipedia and may be of interest to some of you.
Another Tulsa blogger, "Tour in a Radio Car" has posted additional historical information about the significance of "The Shield of the Trinity" that is worth reading.

Eric Djembe-Djembe?
That's two creative talents you share with us today, Tulsa Gentleman. Nice take for TT.
What a many-talented man you are.
Thank you for the very interesting TT.
I like that symbol even though I have not faith and much cyncism. I also like the sound of the djembe. I tried to learn to drum, but the vibrations were way too much.
You are a man of many talents and interests. Very interesting post.
Boy, another talent I didn't know about. You did a very nice job on that drum. And this was very educational. And photogenic...
Very beautiful stained glass. I think the transfer to your drum turned beautifully as well.
Thanks for you TT.

Oh, that's what it is! I saw the symbol recently but didn't know what it meant.
Nicely done, love the art :) Great take on the theme too.
Lovely job on the drum, as well as on the "equal" theme. The symbol is beautiful.
Hmm not one of the faithful myself but have a love of iconography and it looks just perfect on your Djembe, I mean where else would one put it?
