Designs
from the British Museum
by Ian Stead & Karen Hughes |
 |
| While most
pattern books of Celtic art concentrate on the familiar
"knotwork" and other motifs used in Ireland from the 6th
century CE onwards, this book begins a thousand years earlier with
patterns created by Celtic tribes living in mainland Europe.
(Warning - This book is not Medieval!) The distinctive patterns
are taken from artifacts such as metalwork, pottery, sword scabbards,
jewelry and chariot fittings and are presented as very 300 intricately
done line drawings. There is a useful introduction and notes on
each pattern.
