Letter Q c. 15th century

Editor: Here we have Letter Q, an anonymous work at the Harvard Art Museums. I find the interwoven design quite mesmerizing! What symbols do you see in this piece? Curator: The interwoven design speaks volumes. It evokes the Celtic knot, a symbol of eternity and interconnectedness across cultures. The “Q” itself hints at questions, inquiry, the unknown. Can you feel how such images shape our shared cultural memory? Editor: That's fascinating. I never considered the Celtic knot connection. Thank you. Curator: It’s been a pleasure. I hope you will keep asking questions.
