内容説明
The Celts were a passionate and ferocious forest people. They rode horses and sat on wolfskins, worshipped pagan gods, and practiced the arts of poetry, prophecy, and astrology. Their art was sacred and symbolic; its interlacing ribbons, knots, mazes, and animal designs still mesmerize the modern world. Celtic Symbols invites us to explore this legendary druid society with rubber stamps featuring the intricate circles, knots, and borders of Celtic art. The designs represent the historical range of Celtic art, which was geometric early on and zoomorphic in later centuries. Celtic Symbols also includes a booklet by writer Jim Paul that describes the fascinating nuances of Celtic life and society. This inspiring and useful treasure is sure to yield hours of fun and an endless supply of original stamp art creations.
