Description

The Celtic Cross is perfect for the garden or inside the house! It has four small holes through the inner circle of the cross which makes it easy to hang on a wall if you choose to.

The cross, either vertical or diagonal with equal length arms is a universal mark, it is so primal that it exists in all cultures as does the circle. There are no human cultures that have no art or symbols and there are no systems of symbols that do not include circles and crosses. These marks are opposites.
The circle contains and is unending while the cross both reaches out and marks a specific, finite point at the center. A plain circle is often a symbol for the moon and a circle with a cross within or the arms of a cross without are universal symbols for the sun.
The four directions or the four corners of the Earth, the vertical and the horizontal coming together imply the joining of forces (such as) Heaven and Earth.

All our plastercrafts are hand cast so each one although similar, will never be the same twice! We finish each cast with either a gloss or satin varnish so you can put it inside or outside with the knowledge that your cross will be very happy in any situation. We do recommend that you reapply a varnish every three years to keep your cross in tip top condition.

It measures 20.5cm x 7cm(at widest point) x 1.5-2cm or 8"x 2 3/4"(at widest point) x 1/2-3/4" approx.

Please note that that the Cross in the picture may differ slightly from the one you receive.
