Three Dog Knot

[Blu (Ontario)]

You have a very nicely detailed buckle. I like the not-so-shiny finish.

And an interesting bit of background information as well.

Thanks for posting the pic Rex, I was looking forward to seeing it and i'm not dissapointed.It looks like it's good quality too so it should wear well.
Thanks to James for your historical insights.I've been a student of runelore for twenty two years, although more ardently for seventeen and it's good to read a little about the relationship between the Celts and the Norse.Indeed the Norse introduced a great deal of art and technology to the British Isles, mostly via the Hebrides, Orkney's, Northern Scotland and Ireland. Sometimes whether they wanted it or not!
I don't you're treading on as many toes as you may think.

I believe that the 3-Dog design shown is a copy of George Bain's interpretation of a design originally found in the Book of Kells. As to the original origins - that could be a very long discussion
