Celtic Cross Designs - Celtic Knot Art

Archaeological finds provide us with examples of true Celtic knotwork; this unique style of has been recreated by many contemporary artists. Elaborate knotwork makes Celtic art pieces especially distinctive. The complex Celtic knot designs displayed on the Celtic Cross of Dublin are a fascinating example of this. The solemn figure upon the Celtic Cross of St. Patrick is also surrounded by characteristic Celtic knotwork designs. Such pieces contribute to the contemplative, reflective mood of a room.
