Wooden Hand Carved 3 Dogs Book of Kells Wall Hanging, Three wolves wall carving, celtic art, celtic room decoration, medieval art, norse

Intricately 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 emphasise the themes of the major illustrations. This item has been hand carved, stained with a non-toxic stain, hand sanded to make the dogs stand out and then coated in protective oils. It took hours of hard work but just looking at it makes it so worth the effort.
