The medieval interlace patterns of the British Isles are today considered typical of Celtic art, but the "Early Celtic Art" of the Latène period experienced its flowering on the European continent already from the late 5th century B.C. onwards.
The motifs on our bookmarks come from sensational finds, mostly from Celtic princely burial mounds. They are printed on imitation rawhide made of strong paper and can be coloured with both crayons and felt-tip pens.
In a protective cover with decorative ribbon, the colourful works of art become a hard-wearing bookmark.
