KNOTWORK - Half Moon Necklace
When the Celts borrowed an idea from another tradition they always added their own unique character and made it their own. Today the Celts are renowned over the world for interlacing, but in fact this motif was introduced by the Vikings. It is found in many different cultures, though not to the same extent. It can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was a stylization of running water. In a circle it probably indicates a well.
