An Original design adapted by Lisa Van Eyck , in the style of the illuminated Irish gospel Book of Kells .This is the way the well-known 22nd letter of the alphabet might appear after a 9th Century calligrapher-monk had spent some long winter evenings with it . The shape is an upside - down trinity knot, things often come in threes in Irish mythology, it is considered a magic number. You can't miss the heart shape, a symbol of love and fidelity. One of our most popular designs.
