Celtic knots
Endless woven designs
Celtic knots are decorative designs featuring interwoven lines with no beginning or end, associated with ancient Celtic art from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
The patterns appear in medieval manuscripts, stone carvings, and metalwork.
Modern uses include tattoos, jewelry, and wedding bands, where the endless loops symbolize eternity or interconnectedness: a Celtic knot pendant, Celtic knotwork borders.
