The Llandeilo Cross, an extraordinary relic from the 8th century, was unearthed during the rebuilding of St. Teilo’s Church in Wales between 1848 and 1850. This remarkable artifact stands out as the only known Celtic cross with a rectangular surround, deviating from the traditional circular design typically associated with such crosses.

As an archaeologist and artist, I find the Llandeilo Cross particularly compelling. Its discovery challenges our understanding of Celtic art and symbolism, prompting us to question the narratives we've inherited about early medieval craftsmanship and religious expression. This unique design invites us to reconsider the cultural and artistic influences of the time, suggesting that there may have been regional variations or innovations that have yet to be fully understood.

This artist is happy to accept commissions.
