Believe it or not, Early Celtic art was characterized by a number of intricate, curvilinear styles, but some authorities (Angus Konstan, Historical Atlas of the Celtioc World, Checkmark Books, 2001, which includes several chapters on Celtic art) claim that the intricately woven patterns we commonly associate with insular Celtic art, especially in Ireland, was a "parallel development" of Germanic and Celtic styles.
