Celtic Round Design - Keychain

The word "Celtic" refers to people who lived in Britain and Western Europe from 500 BC and 400 AD. Typically, Celtic art is ornamental, avoiding straight lines and only occasionally using symmetry. Celtic Spiral Designs: Both single and double spirals were among the most sacred signs of Neolithic Europe. They appeared on megalithic monuments and temples all over the continent and the Celtic islands. Spiral oculi (double twists resembling eyes) appear prominently in places like the threshold stones at Newgrange in Ireland. The spiral is the cosmic symbol for the natural form of growth; a symbol of eternal life, reminding us of the flow and movement of the cosmos. The whorls are continuous creation and dissolution of the world; the passages between the spirals symbolized the divisions between life, death, and rebirth. Single and double spirals of green, blue, pink, grey, and cream curve around in a circle on a black background.
