A silk scarf featuring a Celtic peacock design inspired by the Book of Kells.

The design of this scarf shows four elaborate peacocks perched on an ornate Celtic knot. Each element of the scarf has been inspired by sections of illustrations found within the Book of Kells, and celebrates the interconnectedness of traditional Celtic design.

The Book of Kells is an astonishing illuminated manuscript housed at Trinity College, Dublin. The texts feature the canonical gospels of the New Testament, and were created sometime around the turn of the 9th century. The exceptional artwork of the Book features animals, knots and crosses, which are typical of Celtic Insular La Tène motifs.

An intriguing gift for a lover of illumination art.
