Figures on the Crock of Gold cover

[lajos andirko]

Hi!
I'm a painter from Hungary. I'm a great Shane MacGowan's fan and I respect his working class. I did it a clay sculpture from him. I have many Pogues and Popes albums.
So I have The Crock of Gold album and the bearded flute shape figures on three places in the cover. I want to know this is a Celtic or a Scythian symbol? And what does it mean? Because I want paint it and I would like to know his background. I would like to paint Shane MacGowan later.

Cheers
Lajos

It's Monastic illustration isn't it? I don't think it's necessarily The Book of Kells but it's of that ilk.

Maybe one of Shane's whistle players outside the Pogues?

Thank you for the information. This is a good trace.
The style may be tallies although I did not find this figure yet.
Somebody knows a web page like that where they deal with this book more deeply in the form of a picture?

Thank you for the praise! You are the first on the web.
Do you like the painting?
Can you speak in Hungarian? Or was this only a gesture?

En nem tudok semmit Magyarul.

Especially with writing the accents and umlauts. Just a few things remembered from a year I spent in Budapest in the early nineties. Mostly I just know phrases like "kurva elat" and that the word "baszmeg" seems to be used like a spoken comma in sentences.

And, yes I like the painting of Shane. Well done.
