Celtic Warrior Dog-Tag Pendant

Description

This stunning highly polished Sterling silver dog-tag pendant is embellished with an 18 K gold bead.

From the 8th Century the skills of the Monastic community in Ireland where well recognized across Europe for their exquisite detail. The vikings made frequent excursions into the Irish Countryside to raid and plunder these monasteries in hopes of acquiring large collections of these works.

One piece in particular, the Ardagh Chalice, was removed and hidden from the invaders and was left undisturbed for centuries. Today in The National Museum in Dublin it is considered on of the most highly prized pieces from this period. The Celtic Warrior Collection highlights the beauty and skill of these monks.
