Small Double Sided Silver Celtic Cross

Ireland’s Celtic crosses can be seen dotted throughout the landscape of the country and the free standing monuments are a living history and treasured by the Irish and visitors to the country. One of their most distinctive features is the variation in the engraved patterns which ranges from knots to spirals to interlaced ribbons - all with separate meanings.  

This beautifully detailed small double sided silver Celtic cross features the famous Trinity knot as part of the design. This knot, also known as the Triquetra features leaf-like shapes that are interlinking with no beginning and no end. They were used extensively in decoration in the Celtic style of insular art and are showcased beautifully in this piece.
