Red Kite

£80.00

Handmade oil-based lino print on Somerset velvet paper
Dimensions: 297 x 420 millimeters (A3)
Paper weight: 300gsm
Edition of 3 prints

Red Kites (Milvus milvus) were extinct in England until a reintroduction program saw them gain in numbers in both Scotland and England. While they’re considered birds of prey, they’re actually carrion birds. Despite their impressive wing span, they are actually surprisingly light, weighing less than a duck. 

In Celtic lore the Red Kite was seen as a harbinger of good fortune. It bore a connection to the goddess Brigid, who embodied healing and fertility. Notably, kites were recognised for their lifelong partnerships, thus becoming a symbol of faithfulness within relationships.

Additional information:

  • These prints are all handmade, so they will differ slightly in appearance to the images shown here.

  • The colours may differ slightly from your monitor.

  • All prints are sold unframed.
