Historical wooden box in the shape of a book with 3 Dogs Book of Kells

This box is made of linden wood and plywood. The lid has hand carved pattern. Pattern source: Hand carved reproduction of one of numerous animal representations from immensely important Book of Kells. The illustrations and ornamentation of the Book of Kells surpass that of other Insular Gospel books in extravagance and complexity. The decoration combines traditional Christian iconography with the ornate swirling motifs typical of Insular art. Figures of humans, animals and mythical beasts, together with Celtic knots and interlacing patterns in vibrant colours, enliven the manuscript's pages. Many of these minor decorative elements are imbued with Christian symbolism and so further emphasis the themes of the major illustrations.
