Thanks for explaining "Kells" in the note to S.Love below... I did not know what it referred to either. This is lovely work and I know it is painstaking, with all the gold and silver leaf.

As a Greek Orthodox Christian I find your iconography absolutely fascinating

cathy sharpe
Artist Reply: Thank you Stanton, as the Celts made their way accross the continents, they caused a lot of havoc in Greece on their way, and of course learned a lot while they were their, A big influence to the Celtic art form as we know it today!

I love this style very indicative of the early church, beautiful gold trimming really sets this back to that era. Excellent piece. God bless you richly.
