{"id":13,"count":6,"description":"Celtic Knots refer to a wide variety of knots, as well as certain stylised knots, that were employed as adornment by the ancient Celts. The Book of Kells, the 8th century St. Teilo Gospels, and the Lindisfarne Gospels are examples of church monuments and manuscripts where they are used. It spread to many parts of the world after that.\r\n\r\nThe Roman Empire's craftsmen were the first to use interwoven patterns. Knot designs were first found in the third and fourth century AD, and were quickly translated to mosaic floor patterns as well. Byzantine architecture, Celtic art, Coptic art, and Islamic art all made extensive use of this art genre.","link":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/celtic-knots\/","name":"Celtic Knots","slug":"celtic-knots","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/13"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientsymbols.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
