C
In general, only five different colours, besides brown and black, were used in Celtic manuscripts. This design of the illuminated letter 'C' shows clearly the typical colours which were used throughout the Book Of Kells

$23.80

____________________

D

This design is an illuminated letter 'D', featuring, to the left, a typical bird- like form. Animals and plants were purposely illustrated by the Celts in an unrealistic form in order to avoid imitating God's creation.

F
'Compound' letter, this illuminated letter 'F' has a fish suspended from the adjoining letter 'A'. The fish was a recognised symbol used to represent Christ since the second century and was associated with eucharist and new converts, swimming in the waters of baptism

$28.00

K
The letter 'K' does not appear in the Book Of Kells as it was not used in either Celtic or Latin texts. The letter 'K' was, instead, represented by the letter 'C'. However, in order to provide stitchers with a full illuminated alphabet we have designed a letter 'K' in the same style as other letters in the Book Of Kells.

M
This beautiful illuminated letter 'M' is taken from the beginning of the Magnificat in the Book Of Kells. It is a compound letter, also featuring the letter 'A' and features, in the left arch, a mother bird feeding her two babies.

$30.00

S
Many of the illuminated capitals in the Book Of Kells are formed from the bodies of animals and birds, their heads and legs often entwined to form and decorate the letter. Plant life, too, such as trefoils, vines and grapes, although not common in other manuscripts, are also used throughout the book. For example, this design of an illuminated letter 'S' is constructed from both animal and plant forms.
