Ring-headed crosses of impressive height and intricate design were first erected in Iona and Ireland from the eighth century onwards. This book deals with these and shows how they were the culmination of a long period of development during the early Christian period. It also examines the early sculpture of Wales, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man.
