Description
This is my contribution to this celtic deities contest from
After looking around a while I found this 'father of all'.
He is a main god of the 'Tuatha de danann', the people of Danu in Ireland.
But as often in celtic mythologie, there are more aspects of every god. And this one has these magic attributes which are shown here. The idea was to show him behind the aspects he stands for.So I came to the three shields and the nice shaped gap between. In my imagination the face was deeper but I couldn't carve there a face.
Some words about the items
The cauldron 'Undry' is bottomless for his peolpe. Of course my cauldron is filled with squash soup and designed with heavy rings to make it undestructable.
The Club can slain 9 warrioors at one time. With the handle Dagda can give back live. That's cool!
Finally the harp which is made out of oak by Dagda himself. He also can play some special songs. The first is 'geantrai' - the song of the youth - and people feel happy if they listen. The second is 'goltrai' - the song of the age - and people start to moan. When he plays 'geantrai' - the song of death - people fall asleep. He even used this in war.
This pit is quite big:nearly 2 inches high and 1.5 wide. I worked approx. 15 hours on this.
