Bird of Kells
Our Celtic Bird , measures 8'' x 7'' and is supplied wall hanging - £24 plus postage.
This bird design is taken from the Book of Kells, which according to legend, was written by St. Columba and his monks on Iona and finished at the monastery at Kells, Ireland in the 6th century . In mythology the bird is said to be a messenger from this world to the next. Birds play a prominent role in Celtic myth and legend. As symbols of freedom and transcedence, they represent the human soul in flight, liberated from earthly ties, able to soar in spiritual communication with the heavens. Returning to earth, they bring messages of prophecy and guidance, aiding mortals on their spiritual and earthly journeys.
