Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The geometric and interlacing animal designs on the Chi Rho page from the Book of Kells demonstrate the influence of Anglo-Saxon metalwork, which often incorporated similar interlacing patterns and animal motifs. The other aspects, such as the Classicizing depiction of Christ and the angels and the Greek letters abbreviating Christ's name, draw more on Classical and Christian iconography. The use of millefiori and foreshortening, while impressive, do not necessarily demonstrate an Anglo-Saxon influence.
