This stunning needlepoint wallhanging by Animal Fayre was inspired by the entwined peacocks found throughout the Book of Kells. There are two central panels, each of which have two twisted peacocks. The border has a further 12 peacocks in it! This design is sewn in rich colours on a dark background. The Book of Kells was written around 800AD and is one of the worlds most beautifully illuminated manuscripts. It is now in the Old Library, Trinity College, Oxford University. Worked in Victorian cross-stitch on 10hpi canvas, the finished piece will measure 24.7″x22.8″, 62.7x58cm.
