The Medieval story of Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight explained that it represents the 5 wounds inflicted on Christ, and therefore demons are terrified of it. Another explanation is that it represents Man (or God), plus the 4 elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. This design uses both interpretations. The rose symbolizes Christ and the crown of thorns. Celtic motifs represent elements: A stag & oak leaves=earth, A bird=air, Celtic sea serpents=water, and a flame with Pictish spirals=fire. Man is represented by a Celtic a "beard-puller" motif.<br/> Tue, 17 May 2005 01:21:06 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=64486 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=64486"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/3584ca143d87db3de9a688b6e3864f9c/3584ca143d87db3de9a688b6e3864f9c_scale_58_80.jpg" height="80" width="58" border="1" alt="Book of Kells Eagle" /></a><br/>One fo the symbols of the Gospels from the Book of Kells, redrawn on a wooden panel<br/> Tue, 05 Apr 2005 02:03:27 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=53755 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=53755"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/7ed75b28e68e3cd0c54f2df2cc14859a/7ed75b28e68e3cd0c54f2df2cc14859a_scale_99_80.jpg" height="80" width="99" border="1" alt="Book of Kells Coffee Table" /></a><br/>A coffee table with inset panels decorated with the symbols of the four gospels as portrayed in the Book of Kells.<br/> Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:54:06 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=53754 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=53754"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/046b768cad19762db8ebceb90aca7ab4/046b768cad19762db8ebceb90aca7ab4_scale_110_75.jpg" height="75" width="110" border="1" alt="Hnefatafl Viking Game" /></a><br/>A oak game board decorated with Celtic knotwork and with imitation bone game pieces based on a mutton bone game piece discovered in Woodperry England.<br/> Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:45:32 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=42319 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=42319"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/bf05d97414d88c08293198f5684def44/bf05d97414d88c08293198f5684def44_scale_76_80.jpg" height="80" width="76" border="1" alt="Celtic Musicians" /></a><br/>A Tshirt design inspired by the coffee table posted earlier in my gallery<br/> Wed, 30 Jun 2004 03:34:47 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=41134 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=41134"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/84ca7d47f405752b2db859d1a56600b9/84ca7d47f405752b2db859d1a56600b9_scale_109_80.jpg" height="80" width="109" border="1" alt="Celtic art stool" /></a><br/>An oak stool decorated with a design from the Lindifarne Gospels<br/> Wed, 09 Jun 2004 01:39:26 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40910 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40910"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/245d73d9530934665feb0df1b92138d5/245d73d9530934665feb0df1b92138d5_scale_76_80.jpg" height="80" width="76" border="1" alt="Lover&#39;s Pentagram" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 04 Jun 2004 02:38:43 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40339 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40339"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/9f073376afc9a0d95268dec38006d953/9f073376afc9a0d95268dec38006d953_scale_110_65.jpg" height="65" width="110" border="1" alt="Fidchell Game" /></a><br/>A reproduction of an Irish game inspired by the "Ballinderry Game Board" a 10th century artifact unearthed in Ballinderry Ireland in the 1930's.<br/> Mon, 31 May 2004 12:45:42 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40338 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=40338"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/21e3d58f500771e9a5cd7b651aef47f9/21e3d58f500771e9a5cd7b651aef47f9_scale_110_56.jpg" height="56" width="110" border="1" alt="Celtic Raven" /></a><br/><br/> Mon, 31 May 2004 12:10:36 GMT Charles Knutson http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=29437 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=29437"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_4671/f0e8ac79f9802e6dea74ba78b05c6ae2/f0e8ac79f9802e6dea74ba78b05c6ae2_scale_92_80.jpg" height="80" width="92" border="1" alt="Celtic music-themed Coffee Table" /></a><br/>A "recycled" coffee table decorated with a Pictish swirl design and stylized Celtic musicians, and a paraphrase of a from an Irish song lettered around the edge<br/> Tue, 11 Nov 2003 23:36:52 GMT Charles Knutson
