Crafted by renowned Celtic roots artist Eibhlín Ní Chongháile, this sculptural piece—titled Celtic Wave—is a striking embodiment of Ireland’s ancient landscape and enduring cultural spirit. Carved from fossilised bog oak, preserved for over 5,000 years in the depths of Irish peatlands, the sculpture evokes the rhythmic flow of water and the cyclical nature of time.
This piece is not only a celebration of sculptural artistry but also a tangible connection to Ireland’s prehistoric woodlands and mythic heritage. Ideal for collectors of Celtic art, connoisseurs of natural history, or those drawn to the metaphysical resonance of ancient materials.
“Spirals are in the grains of wood we carve. The loose spiral forms in this collection are synonomous with the celtic tradition, are very pleasing to work into the wood. We see them in the physical forces which shape the Earth – the tides of the ocean, the winds in the atmosphere – and within life itself.This piece represents the energy of the waves in the loose spiral shape and form and tries to capture the energy of the wave in motion” – Eibhlín Ní Chongháile
