Knot of Longevity - Long Life - Traditional Celtic Knotwork Wood Cabinet

MEANING: This Celtic Knot of Longevity, made from one solid piece of wood in one continuous line, conveys hope for a long life. Interestingly, this is one of the cross-cultural symbols that Coop always says, “Reminds me the mothership made several stops!” For example, in ancient Mongolian culture, which was influenced by Tibetan Buddhism in the 16th and 17th century, this symbol, turned 90 degrees, means ‘Long Life’. (See Pan Chang Knot http://www.etsy.com/listing/71361166/pan-chang-knot-endless-knot-mystic-knot) THE CARVING: The door is carved from a single piece of western red cedar. The cedar allows the cabinet to be used in warm, moist places and will work as a bathroom medicine cabinet or in the kitchen as a spice rack. The back of the cabinet is keyholed for hanging on the wall, the bottom is smooth and edges rounded for being placed on a table top. The cabinet can be ordered with 1 or 2 shelves and hinged on the left or right. Each piece is finished with a blend of clear oils that brings out the natural color of the wood. For more information on the process of creation, please see my profile. Any of Coop’s patterns can be incorporated into a cabinet door, if you have a symbol that we don’t have listed, please contact us.
