Celtic, Gaelic, Scottish Ethnic Art,
 | |  |  |  | Published since: July 1, 2010 Last update: July 4, 2010 |
A carved, highly stylised depiction of an ancient Gaelic harp (Clàrsach)adorned with the beautiful intricate knot work associated with insular Celtic art. Carved in Scotland by a native craftsman, this piece was realised upon the discovery of a beautiful and extremely rare piece of air-dried walnut retrieved from a wind-felled tree near Auchengray in south Lanarkshire. It bears an inscription in Scottish Gaelic of a simple folk-prayer or'Grace': «May the roof above us never fall in, and may we below never fall out» - Pious wisdom to accompany the instrument of Angels.
