Celtic Knotwork
Celtic Knotwork refers to intricate and interlaced patterns found in Celtic art and culture, typically characterized by their continuous lines forming complex knots and symmetrical designs. Originating from ancient Celtic societies, this form of ornamentation has been passed down through generations and can be seen in various manifestations across Scottish culture, as well as other Celtic-influenced regions. The patterns often contain symbolic meanings drawn from Celtic mythology, representing concepts such as eternity, interconnectedness, and balance. These knots are not merely decorative elements, but rather a visual language that embodies the rich history, beliefs, and values of the Celts.
