Pictish Hound Plaque

I was commissioned to make one of my Pictish/Celtic hound plaques with the brief that the dog should be sleek and slim (like an Italian greyhound) had to include a triskele within the design.

Below is the finished piece (design strictly copyright HatchBurnCarve) – this was carved from a large reclaimed roof slate (40 x 25 cm), the carving enamelled using white 1-Shot and finally hand sanded and polished to give a high-sheen surface.
