Chalice Well Tapestry in Red - Single

Chalice Well Tapestry in Red - Single is made of sturdy 100% medium weight woven cotton.

The tapestry design is that of an intricate Celtic knotwork border surrounding a detailed design of the Chalice Well of Glastonbury in the center. The color of the fabric is a multi-shade background consisting of hues of red. Its intricate design has been silk screened onto the fabric in black.

The Chalice Well Tapestry image is a replication of the design that graces the cover of the Chalice Well at Glastonbury, designed in the nineteenth century by archaeologist Bligh Bond. The original well is crafted of wrought iron and wood, it depicts the Vesica Pisces, a symbol of the divine feminine, and Excalibur, the sword of the legendary King Arthur, who is believed by some to be buried at Glastonbury.

The wellspring at Glastonbury is considered to be one of England's most Holy sites. The well itself dates back over two thousand years, and was sacred to both early Pagans and the Christians who later built an abbey on the site. Today, the well is a place of pilgrimage for Christians and Pagans alike, many of whom believe the red, iron rich water has healing and miraculous properties. The Vesica Pisces theme is repeated in the shape of the pool at the base of the hill, where the water from the spring flows. An old legend holds that after the crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathea traveled to England and hid the Holy Grail on the premises, accounting for the waters red hue.

There are varying styles of Celtic knotwork intertwined and interlaced with leaf clumps creating a perfect knotwork border.

The overall dimensions of the Single Sized Chalice Well Tapestry in Red are 60 inches x 90 inches. The outer edging of this tapestry is finished in a machine hem to keep it looking its best for years to come.

Tapestry care is completed by hand washing in cold and line dry or delicate machine wash and light air tumble dry.
