Celtic Art and Symbolism

Celtic Art refers to the decorative and symbolic artworks created by ancient Celtic cultures, primarily from around 500 BC to 500 AD in regions such as Britain, Ireland, and parts of Europe. Characterized by intricate patterns, spirals, knots, and stylized animals, this art often served both functional and spiritual purposes. Symbols like the triskelion and the torc reflected themes of eternity, life, and nature. Celtic artifacts, such as illuminated manuscripts and metalwork, showcase their artistic skills and cultural beliefs, revealing a deep connection to their identity, mythology, and the natural world.
