The Celtic Cross on this letter opener is inspired by the crosses left by the Celts as they travelled across Europe. The Celtic cross combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity and these crosses formed a major part of Celtic art. This design is also referred to as an Irish Cross, or as the Cross of Iona.
This letter opener measures 17.5cm and is antique silver plated. It is supplied in a box with historial information.
