The pattern carved into this piece of Irish Connemara ‘Celtic Marble’ comes from a early medieval copper alloy hand-pin found in Ireland.
The design suggests influence from La Tène-derived Celtic spiral motifs. The spiral/triskele-style decoration characteristic of Celtic art continued for hundreds of years beyond the Celtic era across the UK and Ireland.
Pendant Dimensions:
48mm x 48mm x 7mm
Hang Length:
300mm
TRĪS - ‘three’ in Proto-Celtic (reconstructed language)
