The use of interlace patterns had its origins in the artwork of the late Roman Empire. Spirals, step patterns, and key patterns are dominant motifs in Celtic art before the Christian influence on the Celts, which began around 450 A.D. These designs found their way into early Christian manuscripts and artwork with the addition of depictions from life, such as animals, plants and even humans. In the beginning, the patterns were intricate interwoven cords, called plaits (a woven, unbroken cord design), which can also be found in other areas of Europe, such as Italy, in the 6th century. Examples of plait work predate knotwork designs in several cultures around the world, but the broken and reconnected plait work that is characteristic of true knotwork began in northern Italy and southern Gaul and spread to Ireland by the 7th century. The style is most commonly associated with the Celtic lands, but it was also practiced extensively in England and was exported to Europe by Irish and Northumbrian monastic activities on the continent. In modern times Celtic art is popularly thought of in terms of national identity and therefore specifically Irish, Scottish or Welsh.
