This Book of Kells lape pin in oxidised sterling silver features a single interlacing cord design, hand-finished in our workshop in Orkney. The pin measures approximately 9mm by 9mm.
This collection is based on a beautiful illuminated Gospel book from the late 8th Century. The pattern of intertwining cords is derived from Eastern and Celtic art, and passed into the repertoire of British and Irish artists from the 6th to 9th Century. The interlacing design is found on metalwork and sculpted stone, as well as illuminated Gospel Books.
