Sculpted Celtic plaques decorate the porch of Cwmyoy church. It is not known how old these are but could have formed part of the original ceiling before it was restored in the 19th century. There is something quite magical studying such works of art clearly moulded by hand. It feels like it is a calm meditative process in which the craftsman becomes one with his art and the symbology used to tell a story. I am now curious as to what it might mean and whether it is complete or a smaller part of a bigger whole. Maybe they are just pretty patterns. #celtichistory #mediaeval #mediaevalart #ornateplaster #cwmyoychurch #artofhandcrafted #traditionalcrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjwJiXJtj7/?igshid=1r4f4g9ghfm99
