The knotwork in this folder is inspired by the designs on the Great Wheel Cross of Conbelin at Margam Abbey, in what used to be Glamorganshire in Wales. This type of circled cross monument, popularly called the ╥Celtic cross╙ is found only in Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man.
The panels on the original cross are as follows:
conbelin-01 the upper arm
conbelin-02 between the central panel and the upper arm
conbelin-03 between the central panel and the left arm
conbelin-04 the right arm
conbelin-05 the central panel, rotated 90í anti-clockwise
conbelin-06 the left arm
conbelin-07 between the central panel and the right arm
conbelin-08 between the central panel and the lower arm
conbelin-09 the bottom-left section of the ring
conbelin-10 the lower arm, heading down the shaft
conbelin-11 the top-left section of the ring
conbelin-12 the base of the shaft╤I have moved the knotwork panel to the centre from the left.
conbelin-13 the bottom right section of the ring, adjusted slightly.
conbelin-14 a border inspired by a panel to the right of 12.
The images are all 300 dpi TIFFs╤a format understood by virtually all DTP and word-processing packages╤and are are simple black-and-white bitmaps which should be friendly to most printers. If you need to convert the images to another format, I strongly recommend the shareware Graphic Converter, available at Info-Mac and other archives.
