This carving which is over half a meter long features an image of interlaced dragons. The Anglo-Saxon artwork and design is typically English and is taken from the Lindisfarne Gospels which were probably made around the years 715 to 720. It has been called the “book that made Britain” and contains the oldest surviving translation of the Gospels into the English language.
These exquisite and beautifully crafted items are hand carved by skilled craftsmen exclusively for wearetheenglish.com. As they are individually hand carved no two carvings are exactly the same and each one is unique.
