Celtic high crosses date from the early middle ages and were Christian crosses carved in stone. This wood carving depicts a high cross as it would appear as an illustration in an ancient manuscript, richly decorated with interlacing knotwork.

This carving is made by a process known as Intarsia, which is the ancient art of making pictorial mosaics by laying precious and exotic woods onto a solid wood surface. Seven different woods are used to make these Celtic designs.
