Each Brass Rubbing is a hand made original. This is a hand made rubbing ofthe CelticCross ,from St. Andrew's,Scotland, using metallic gold wax on a special black rag paper. This cross was erected in 1871 at St. Andrews inScotland. Similar crosses can be found all over Scotland and Ireland. The entire cross contains Stafford knots that are generally considered to be a sign of the Trinity. The design is frequently used for interlacing border. The outside ring is a wonderful key pattern from the Pictish school of art. This design is found in almost every culture. Europeans were amazed to find it in the Mayan temples in Central America. American Indians used it extensively in their artwork. The early Picts started the design from spirals, squaring them off and then extending them in a line. This is also a very common design used in labyrinths.The facsimilieengraving from which this rubbing was taken is from an exhibit and workshop organized by The London Brass Rubbing Centre that has recently been on a National tour as part of their brass rubbing workshop.
