Celtic hair clip - Figure eight knot hairslide
PH15
History of the Jewelry
Celtic figure eight knot hairslide – a pewter figure of eight knotwork design hairslide with rhodium-plated stainless steel sprung clasp.
The clip on the back grips the hair tightly to prevent the hairslide from slipping out.
The Celts used knotwork to decorate many of their artifacts. To them, the intricate patterns woven into spirals and knots symbolise the continuity of life.
The Celts (Keltoi) were a nomadic people who spread westward from Eastern and Central Europe to England from about 1000 - 400 BC. The nomads consisted of several independent tribes. They had no written language and no common leadership. Their art was characterized by elegantly entwined warp threads, stylized animals, knots, spirals, and wheels. Some scholars interpret these designs as symbolic and even magical.
The intertwined braids were developed from tartan fabrics and basket weaving techniques. The braid pattern was generally endless. This design was widespread in England and Ireland, where it is often found depicted in carvings on stone crosses.
Pewter with Celtic design in raised relief. The buckle has a brace.
