專家說明

The Manx Cross is an engraved and sculptured memorial stone which first emerged on the Isle of Man at the same time Christianity was introduced at the end of the 5th Century. They continued to evolve until the beginning of the 13th century marking and illustrating the development of Christian Art through the merging of Celtic heritage and Scandinavian Rune stone tradition.
