House of Lor Sterling Silver Brooch (30mm Gold Boss) H90000

Sterling Silver Brooch. Arda (30mm) Brooch with Rare Irish Gold Boss.

The Ardagh Chalice is one of the greatest treasures of the early Irish Church. It is part of a hoard of objects found in the 19th century by a young man digging for potatoes near Ardagh, Co. Limerick. The Ardagh Chalice was used for dispensing Eucharistic wine during the celebration of Mass. The form of the chalice recalls late Roman tableware, but the method of construction is Irish.

The Ardagh Chalice represents a high point in early medieval craftsmanship. It is housed in the National Museum of Ireland for everyone to marvel and enjoy. The intricate design around the Ardagh Chalice is the design inspiration for the House of Lor ARDA Collection.
