Triscele bookmark (bm121)

Embossed pewter triscele on nickel-plated page marker
The triscele is commonly found in late Celtic art and is thought to have some Roman influence, although fine examples are found in the native art of Ireland and Scotland. It is thought to represent the three realms of Celtic lore: the past, the present and the future. One of the most popular of ancient Celtic designs, it survived well into the Christian period, probably because it could also be considered to represent the Holy Trinity.
Diameter: 27mm Page marker length: 136mm
Supplied in a satin-lined gift box.
