The Irish Harp dates back to the 12th century. It is made famous by bards such as Turlough O'Carolan, the blind harpist and composer, and was adopted by Ireland as it's national symbol. This unique plaque is made by a process known as Intarsia which is the ancient art of making pictorial mosaics by laying precious and exotic woods onto a solid wood surface. Seven different woods are used to make these Celtic designs, creating a 3D effect. It is a tasteful and beautiful gift that can be displayed in any home.
