ACTUAL SIZE: W:3/4" x H:1" Beautifully designed and expertly crafted by artist/jeweler Angela Thibault. This piece utilizes the Celtic knot, a symbol of the infinite Thread of Life to the Celts. Proudly made in the USA CELTIC KNOTWORK: Undoubtedly, the Celtic knot had its origins in the ancient key and step patterns of pre-Christian Celtic Europe. However, the curvilinear knot was essentially developed by Irish Christian scribes of the Book of Kells who used knots to adorn their manuscripts. Like their pagan predecessors, these Celtic Christians left few voids in their beautifully illustrated works. Though they were Christian, the monks who filled the Book of Kells seemed to pull from the memory of their pagan forefathers a design which represented the Thread of Life. Twisting and turning, the Celtic knot symbolizes the infinite "Thread," which the soul weaves into a tapestry of experience through past, present, and future toward enlightment.
