EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, believed to date back to the 1st century BC, depicts two bardic scholars from ancient Britain, each carrying symbols of their craft. The scholar on the left cradles a dove in his arms, a symbol of peace, wisdom, and the divine inspiration that fueled their art. The dove was also associated with the Celtic goddesses Brigid and Aengus, deities revered for their roles in poetry, music, and healing. The scholar on the right holds a small piglet, an animal often linked to the earth and fertility in Celtic mythology. Pigs were also considered sacred in some cultures, representing abundance and prosperity. This connection to the natural world further underscores the bardic scholars' deep understanding of the land and its cycles. Dressed in the traditional robes of their time, these men were the keepers of ancient knowledge, oral historians, and storytellers. They played a crucial role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Celts, passing down their traditions through generations. Their mastery of poetry, music, and storytelling made them revered figures in their communities, and their influence extended far beyond the borders of Britain. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the arts were deeply intertwined with the fabric of daily life and the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring connection between humans and the land.
