This anonymous print presents an array of ornamental designs. At its heart, the image showcases the cross within a circle, a motif laden with meaning. Here, it echoes the ancient symbol of the sun wheel, representing wholeness, divinity, and cosmic order. This symbol appears across cultures and eras, from Celtic sun crosses to early Christian adaptations. The cross emerges in different contexts, sometimes subtly, sometimes boldly, always carrying echoes of its past lives. Just as the serpent sheds its skin, the symbol evolves, yet its essence remains. Consider the emotional power of these forms. They engage us on a deep, subconscious level, calling forth collective memories of spiritual and cultural significance. These motifs have resurfaced, evolved, and taken on new meanings in different historical contexts.
