The Triskele is the emblem of Ireland’s ancient culture. This is a unique piece of ancient Irish Bog Oak that has been buried in the Boglands of Ireland for over 5000 years, designed and crafted in my studio on the West of Ireland.

Description

Featuring a piece of the beautifully aged Irish bog oak, this small hand-carved Triskele necklace is the perfect gift for anyone with Irish heritage or for someone who resonates with the Celtic myths and traditions of the natural world.

Bog oak comes from ancient forests that once covered Ireland. Huge oaks have been buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the acidic and anaerobic bog conditions, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. The wood is usually stained black by tannin dissolved in the acidic water. Bog-wood represents the early stages in the fossilization of wood, with further stages ultimately forming lignite and coal over a period of many millions of years.
Known as King of the forest for its strength and longevity, the oak was sacred to the ancient Celts and is considered one of the three primary magical woods.

Found inscribed on megalithic tombs in Ireland, the Triskele (also named Triskelion or Celtic spiral) is the emblem of Ireland’s ancient culture. The motif consisting of three interlocking spirals is considered sacred and is said to symbolize the elemental forces of Nature (earth, fire and water). The symbol is also used to illustrate motion: personal growth, evolution, progress, and spiritual expansion.

– Beeswax & organic oils finish to seal the wood & enhance its natural color

    My husband has purchased this and is very happy with the quality. I would certainly recommend and my husband can’t wait to visit the stall when he next goes to Ireland. Keep up the very good work that you do.

    Beautifully tasteful piece. The care and skill taken to make such delicately carved and cleanly polished lines is truly amazing. An heirloom of culture and equally for its artistry.
    Thank you for your talented work.

    Absolutely gorgeous piece of “ancient” art! Having been a long time fan of the Triskele symbol, to have it carved into a piece of Irish bog oak dating back 4,000 plus years ago, well, it’s perfection.
