The Shakespeare knot, a type of decorative unknot, is a heraldic knot. It is a derivative of the Bowen knot and closely akin to the Dacre knot. The knot is most notable for its appearance on the Shakespeare badge.
A signet ring preserved in Stratford-upon-Avon said to have belonged to William Shakespeare bears the knot, where its lower dexter and sinister loops entwine a W (for William) and an S (for Shakespeare).[1]
