Leather Tankard & Jack Celtic Knot Serpent - Hand Carved

Knot work interlacing's are peculiar to the Pictish school of Celtic Art. The intricate, mathematical and abstract designs exist because the imitation of the works of God (whichever one) was forbidden. Until the Christian era even vegetation was forbidden as motif to the Pict.

As a symbol of continuity, interlacing knot work is found on stones, metal work, and manuscripts. Different geographical areas have distinctly differing styles.

This hand carved design is a knot incorporating four dragons and is based upon the Shandwick Stone, a standing stone in Scotland just north of the Cromarty Firth.

This version of our Celtic Knot Serpent is hand carved as detailed in the photos above.

A Celtic Knot Serpent can be Engraved on to any colour vessel (Black, Brown, Tan, Red, Green or Blue). During ordering please enter your preferred colour into the "Additional Information. Notes" box.

All our beer tankards and jacks are handmade from natural materials which can never be consistent in colour. Whilst every endeavour is made to control colour consistency, each item is offered as an individual piece. However, it will always be the actual colour ordered.

If you would prefer a personalised beer tankard or jack, please do use the “Add Personalisation” option above.  More information regarding personalisation can be found here. As our Celtic Knot Serpent covers the entire body of the tankard or jack, personalisation can be added on the base only.

Historically, leather tankards were lined with either boiled Resin of the birch tree, Brewer’s Pitch, or Beeswax. Our full grain leather drinking vessels are lined with an epoxy resin to echo the historic use of resin whilst having the visual appearance of Brewer’s pitch. The resin we use is fully certified for use in both the food and alcohol industries.
