TFA blurb review

The Corp Naomh (English: Holy or Sacred Body) is an Irish bell shrine made in the 9th or 10th century to enclose a now lost hand-bell, which probably dated to c. 600 to 900 AD and belonged to an early Irish saint. It is 23 cm (9.1 in) high and 12 cm (4.7 in) wide. It consists of cast and sheet bronze plates mounted on a wooden core decorated with silver, niello and rock crystal. It is severely damaged with extensive losses and wear across almost all of its parts. Sections from its original include the cross on the reverse and the ornate semi-circular cap, which shows a bearded cleric holding a book. He is surrounded on both sides by horsemen and large birds. It was extensively refurbished in the 15th and possibly the 16th centuries when a central bronze crucifixion of Jesus, a griffin and lion panel, stamped border panels and a backing plate were added. It has been displayed in the National Museum of Ireland since 1887. (Full article...)
