Ringed cross has been a distinctively Celtic symbol since early Medieval times in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and those parts of Britain that were influenced by the early Celtic Church. From the 5th century onward, ring or wheel-headed crosses were carved on stone slabs and as free standing monuments. Free shipping world wide. Click image to enlarge.

  What we now refer to as Celtic art was being established as an international style in those days. Yet the Picts, Irish, Dalriad Scots, Northumbrians and Welsh each practiced the style in their own way. Even though the Celtic Church thrived on the very edge of the world, Farr is on a coast that was remote even to them. The concentration of Pictish monuments are found around the Moray Firth and further south and east. The Iona group of crosses are more Irish in nature and in the west and southern Hebrides. The Farr stone is an unusual but sophisticated effort that is a successful synthesis of both worlds.
