CELTIC SHADOWS SHADOW BOX COLLECTION "THE TULLY LOUGH CROSS"

Description

Celtic Shadows, "The Shadow Box Collection", is a unique set of framed sculptures representing antiquities from the rich heritage of Ireland. I'm auctioning, "The Tully Lough Cross" sculpture.  This is a framed Shadow Box, cast bronze figure, in a beautiful Shadow Box frame. This has never been taken out of its original box. There is a small hairline crack, (about 1"), in the bottom left of the wood frame. ( it does not take away from beauty of the black wood frame).
This rare artifact, a detail from an alter cross found in Tully Lough, Co Roscommon, dates from the 8th or 9th century. The figure depicted is thought to be that of Daniel in the Lion's Den from the biblical tale, surrounded by danger, before God sent an angel to save him. 26cm x 25cm.
