Celtic Knot Scarf - Narrow
|
The Celtic Knot Scarf is made of 100% rayon (first quality), measuring 14"x 70". The scarf is available in antique seal.
Celtic knots are complete loops with no end or beginning. Celtic animal interlace is similar in construction but the cords terminate in feet, heads, tails, etc. Pure knots should always be endless, unless the loose end of a strand is stylized into a zoomorphic element or a spiral. The repeated crossing of the physical and the spiritual are expressed in the intertwined knots. The never ending path of the strands represents the permanence and the continuum of life, love and faith.
The ancient Celtic Art was full of interlacing patterns, elaborate knotwork, spirals, animal forms and animal zoomorphic, and color. The early Celts displayed their art especially in metal: jewelry, weapons, figurines and such. Knotwork tradition in manuscript painting spread the style from Britain and Ireland to Scotland, Wales and North Umbria and with the travels of missionaries of the Celtic church to Europe. Viking raiders later appropriated many of the design concepts into their own personalized, more chaotic style of animal interlace.
