"The Beowulf", so named by Liberty & Co. in their Book of Garden Ornaments" from about 1910, a terracotta jardiniere, is both ancient and modern. Though decorated with Knox's personal abstracted variation of the Celtic entrelac or "knot", the form of this monumental object harks back to far earlier times.
