Also I don't get using "Celtic" to refer to later iron age/early medieval Irish art styles, except I guess the Irish have good PR?

@civilwarbore like Viking interlace is all over the place, it's very beautiful but it's got little pattern. Insular art is more pattern-y.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@civilwarbore and Pictish art was slightly different as well but part of the general Insular art trad. Book of Kells is a good ex. -
@civilwarbore Combined insular, pictish, and anglo-saxon art.
