Item Description
This unusual labyrinth pattern is found inlaid into the tile floor of Ely Cathedral located just outside of London, England. Ely is a more modern labyrinth constructed by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1870 during his restoration of the cathedral. As a finger labyrinth, the paths are more angular and winding than the Cretan or Chartres, and longer to the center (like the Chartres) in only a 12-inch space and weighing just 2 pounds.
Item Special Note
The finger paths in the plain compressed wood designs have a light sandy texture, especially appealing for those looking for a more tactile experience while finger walking. Finger labyrinths in this unfinished compressed wood material can be comfortably used as is or can be stained or painted with a water or oil base stain or paint; The choice is yours. Compressed wood is made from recycled wood products and therefore is a wonderful "green living" alternative to harvesting additional trees.
Having a smoother finger path than the plain compressed wood, our sealed and clear finished maple designs are ideal for those environments where being able to clean/sanitize between uses is important such as in a hospital, nursing home, elementary school etc. Many people also enjoy the natural wood grain that beautifully shows through in this material.
On the back is a notch for hanging as well as engraved suggestions for use.
