How to use this prompt
"Continuous unbroken line-work with over-and-under crossing patterns" is the phrase that makes Flux render actual Celtic interlacing rather than a generic geometric pattern — without it, the model produces parallel curves that look Celtic-ish but break the rule that every line must be unbroken. The four-quadrant structure with triquetra shapes gives the mandala its radial symmetry. "Zoomorphic bird heads" is the detail that pushes this into Book of Kells territory. Emerald and gold on cream is the illuminated- manuscript palette; dark backgrounds lose the parchment feel.
Variations to try
- Replace the bird heads with serpent heads for a Pictish variation
- Recolour to blue and silver on white vellum for a cooler, later-period medieval feel
