‘A rich and dazzling Celtic bewilderment, a perpetual challenge to the eyes and a perpetual delight.’ T.D. Kendrick (Archaeologia 86, 1936)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A masterpiece of medieval art, Saint Manchan\u2019s Shrine is Ireland’s largest surviving reliquary. A unique example of Irish monastic metalsmithing combining Irish, late Viking\/Urnes and Romanesque Christian art styles. This cross fertilization of styles and cultures makes it a unique study from both archaeological and metalsmithing perspectives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Griffin Murray and metalsmith\/photographer Kevin O\u2019Dwyer are combining their expertise to create a high-quality full colour coffee table book that features O\u2019Dwyer\u2019s captivating and atmospheric photographs and Griffin Murray\u2019s in-depth story telling of the history and folklore of the shrine. The publication will feature full and double-page image spreads, antiquarian drawings and descriptive metalsmithing close-ups. The text will be presented in a series of essay\u2019s that will cover various topics including Saint Manchan and Lemanaghan, the art and craftsmanship of Saint Manchan\u2019s Shrine, cultural cross fertilization \u2013 the Late Viking\/Urnes style\u00a0 – and the shrines relationship with the makers of The Cross of Cong.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
