Haunting and regal, this A4 linocut print portrays an ancient skeletal Celtic king, cloaked in mystery and myth. A relic of forgotten times, he stands as a stark reminder of the power and impermanence of rule—his crown intact, his gaze eternal.
This print is steeped in the lore of ancient Britain, where kings were warriors, mystics, and mortals destined to become legend. Perfect for those drawn to darker folklore, ancestral memory, and the beauty of decay.
Each print is handmade using deeply pigmented Cranfield oil-based ink on richly textured Nepalese Lokta paper—a paper as ancient in feel as the figure it bears. The design is first sketched by hand, then carved into linoleum and printed manually, giving each piece its own subtle variations.
These minor imperfections are part of the soul of linoprinting—evidence of the human hand behind the craft.
