Celtic symbolism
Irish decorative iconography
Celtic symbolism refers to the visual motifs, patterns, and imagery associated with the ancient Celtic peoples of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of continental Europe.
Common elements include interlaced knotwork representing eternity and interconnection, the triskele or triple spiral suggesting cycles and trinities, and tree imagery reflecting the sacred importance of nature.
These symbols appear frequently in jewelry, tattoos, and decorative arts, often carrying spiritual or cultural significance for those claiming Celtic heritage.
