The Celtic Shield Urn -XL
Design Influence
The Celtic Shield has been used to indicate protection against evil influences. From early days, the Celts used this symbol to chase away evil spirits and benevolent energies from their midst. It is used in artwork, jewellery, and items that indicate love, loyalty, and unity. There’s much spirituality attached to the Celtic Shield, the bearer of the Celtic shield trusts in its protective qualities. The Celtic Shield is believed to shield one from internal and external enemies. It wards off negative influences and empowers all who bear it to be forever protected behind it. This particular glaze was inspired by the Irish mountain landscape of both Heather and moss. The Celtic Shield is inspired by an ancient Irish Celtic shield discovered in 1863, preserved in a bog in Kiltubbrid, 10 feet below the surface and it has been aged at about 400bc or – 2400 years old from the late Celtic period. An optional extra with the Urn is a handmade Oak plinth - Created by an Irish National award-winning Wood turner. There is also an option to arrange an engraving on request. See sample image. The Urn is large enough to take the cremated remains of a large adult male or female.Dimensions
