Celtic Style Handcarved Leather Wallet.




I have always been drawn to the Celtic knots.  They not only are they intricately beautiful but the Celtic knot can also elude to a more spiritual meaning. It is an endless twist that weaves throughout a piece, with no beginning or end reminding us of the timeless nature of our spirit.  An eternal loop that coincides with the infinite interlacing of the physical and the spiritual.
 
Often times these beautiful adornments were to be used as omens, or given as the best wishes of longevity or luck depending on the particular knot weaved. 

This wallet was hand carved from vegetable tanned leather with an inner lining of pig skin. The Celtic Knot is carved on the outside, and hand stitched giving the wallet a rustic feel.
