Knotwork rather than a portraitCeltic design works by interlacing rather than by depiction, and this ring follows that. Two clawed paws curl round the finger with their ends overlapping rather than meeting, and knotwork fills the back of each paw while the claws are left smooth and the shank between them stays plain. The wolf is implied rather than shown.The practical advantage is that knotwork reads at any distance. A carved face turns to mush at arm's length; a pattern does not.What Celtic tradition made of the wolfIn Celtic stories the wolf blurs into the dog, and both stand for bravery, loyalty and integrity. The wolf appears as a guide walking alongside Cernunnos, the horned god of wild places, which puts it firmly on the side of the forest rather than against it.Specification Stainless steel, silver plated Weight 15g Sizes 54mm to 67mm Sized by inside circumference in millimetres.
