in the age of Christianity: especially the Romanesque art preserved many of them (church doorways<br />
mostly).<br />
Fig. 4. The famous crosses are also characteristic to the Celtic Christian art:<br />
Killamery (Ireland), Aberlamno (Great Britain).<br />
Fig. 5. The Book of Kells in Dublin, Trinity College is the well-known illuminated codex of the Celtic<br />
Christian art, where the text is adorned by beautiful and expressive animal scenes.<br />
Their animal style is related in several aspects to the Scythian animal style. They show the<br />
domesticated animals (dog, hen, cat) between the rows of the famous Book of Kells (Codex), preserved<br />
in Trinity College, Dublin. In the clay jar of Lábatlan we can see animal fighting, also related to Scythian<br />
art as a frequent motif there. There are woven and knotted ornamental friezes, too, with rich<br />
mathematical background, as shown by Bérczi (1989).<br />
