 The Insular style is most famous for its highly dense, intricate and imaginative decoration, which takes elements from several earlier styles.Late Iron Age Celtic art or "Ultimate La Tène", gave the love of spirals, triskeles, circles and other geometric motifs.These were combined with animal forms probably mainly deriving from the Germanic version of the general Eurasian animal style, though also from Celtic art, where heads terminating scrolls were common.
