Harpist Brooch
Here you see Daghada the
Celtic god of music and poetry. According to ancient lore his
songs summoned the seasons and lifted the veil of memory.
This image is on the 10th
century stone cross of Kilkenny. Often identified as David with
his harp, it's origins actually predate Christianity by centuries.
This ancient musician is such a
favorite of ours that we created earrings and a finger ring to go with
it. Musical and poetic friends will get a kick out of this
little fellow strumming away to pass the time.
