Hiberno-Saxon & Various Styles

200 - 732


Many years ago - in what is now known as Europe - there were many folks who were essentially nomads meaning they roamed the earth with no real home base. There were Vikings - Scandinavian folks who carved incredible ships. There were also the Huns - a Germanic people known for their so-called "Animal Style" art in which they depicted, well, animals. Then of course there were the Celts who lived on an island off the coast of Ireland. The Celts were best known for large stone crosses, incredible metalwork and of course, illuminated manuscripts.
