Newgrange Entrance Stone, Co. Meath.
£55.00
Bring the magic of Newgrange into your own home with this beautifully sculpted plasterwork Newgrange Entrance Stone piece. This piece is particularly striking under light, given the deep carvings of the intricate spirals and wavelines. A wonderful gift for someone special or even just for yourself!
The Entrance Stone at Newgrange is regarded as one of the masterpieces of European Neolithic art. The
artist who carved it used a flint or quartz point and picked out the designs. We know that the stone was
carved where it still stands i.e. after it was moved into position. We are unable to translate or understand
the meaning of the art or to even know if it had a meaning. However, most people believe that for those
who built the monument the art had a magical or religious significance. To go inside the chamber 5000
years ago, one had to cross over the Entrance Stone. Perhaps it acted as a physical barrier or threshold
between this world and the world of the spirits.
