Celtic Interlace Ring - Pewter

Product History

The Celts dominated large parts of Europe from the third century B.C. In Britain the Celtic culture would be subsumed by the Romans, but their language, religion and art would have a lasting influence on subsequent cultures. The Celtic culture left such an indelible mark on Europe that Celtic enclaves survived through the subsequent Roman occupation and into mediaeval times. Celtic styles of art and music are still influencing modern cultures in Europe over 2,000 years later.

The cross is best known as the supreme symbol of the Christian faith, cross symbolisation itself is much older than Christianity. Cross designs engraved or painted on flat pebbles have been found dating from 10,000 B.C.
