Ornaments Based on a Stone Carving

thingiverse

Here are some ornaments inspired by an ancient Celtic stone carving in Meigle, Perkshire, dating back to the dawn of Christianity. They could serve as distinctive keychain markers or be transformed into a decorative brooch with the addition of a jeweler's pin back. Running OpenSCAD code in default mode generates a Celtic Knot Ornament reminiscent of those found on the stones. A second ornament was crafted using an alternate set of knots, resulting in a design devoid of the characteristic Celtic pattern.
