Book of Kells Dog Beast Kilt Pin

Inspired by the intricate hound motifs of the 9th-century Book of Kells, a masterpiece of Insular art, this kilt pin features two intertwined dog heads forming a T-shaped cross guard above a smooth dagger blade. The hound, a symbol of loyalty and guardianship in Celtic culture, is brought to life in antique silver pewter. Cast in premium pewter. Made in our Glasgow workshop. 9.2cm long. A beautiful fusion of Irish manuscript art and Scottish dirk tradition.
