An Post – Book of Kells stamps
A new pair of stamps featuring images from the Book of Kells. The two stamps show details of interlacing lions from the medieval illuminated manuscript.
Lions play a key part in the symbolism of the Book of Kells and in many instances are depicted with bared teeth, protruding tongues and wings. On the First Day Cover, a cat chases a mouse in possession of a communion host.
