This wool area rug and wall hanging is produced in a traditional red background with black and gold illustration and matching border. The cat design depicted in this unique piece is based on the world-famous Book of Kells, which was written around the year 800 AD. An old Irish proverb goes "There are chests of gold within all the burial mounds, but mind the cats that guard them". Cats were doors to the other world and guardians of its treasures. The Celts believed that the cat protected and guarded them from all kinds of evil.
The Guardian Wool Area Rug and Wall hanging is produced in size 6 x 4 with a deep wool pile, which is luxurious to the touch.
