EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Cross of Cong, a remarkable artifact from the Viking Age. Created in the 12th century by Celtic artisans, this cross is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess. Standing at an impressive height of 76.5 cm, it is currently housed in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Made from bronze adorned with intricate gold filigree, niello, and glass accents, this cross is a true masterpiece of early Irish art. Its purpose was to enshrine a relic believed to be part of the True Cross—a significant Christian symbol. The shrine was specifically designed for processional use, adding another layer of significance to its historical and religious importance. The photo beautifully captures every detail of this ornate artifact—its openwork design revealing delicate rock crystal elements that add further elegance to its overall appearance. The expertly decorated surface showcases the skillful handiwork involved in creating such an intricate piece. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of ancient civilizations.
