Today I finished the second of two upper arm pieces for a man of the Irish O'Sullivan Clan. The two heraldic animals emblazoned on the Clan crest are the King Stag, monarch of the forest, and the Wild Boar, most fierce of prey. They are rendered in pointillist dots in the style of the ancient 9th century Pictish stone carvings, and surrounded by a ring of Celtic knotwork.
