An ancient Celtic interlace pattern, interpreted in a contemporary fashion at the sound hole of this instrument, create a stunning look – punctuated by a pelta mother-of-pearl motif at the 12th fret, against an ebony fingerboard. A circular triangle is found at the headstock, and echoed at the heel stock, for the player’s enjoyment.

The horse was revered by the Celts for its speed and vigor, and associated with sovereignty, abundance and guidance.
