This black-and-white line drawing depicts a traditional Celtic cross, characterized by its distinctive ring connecting the arms to the vertical shaft-a symbol of eternity. The central circle contains a four-leaf (quatrefoil) design, often interpreted as representing the four evangelists or cardinal directions, while the ornate loops evoke ancient Irish metalwork and manuscript illumination traditions.
