DescriptionCeltic key Cross.svg |
Simple Celtic key pattern inside an overall Latin Cross shape. This is partially loosely based on a design in "Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction" by George Bain, which was in turn loosely based on patterns in the Book of Kells. If the lighter green path were to be cut somewhere on the outside of the cross, it would become a labyrinth which returns to its starting point. |
