EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Viking Age, specifically a gilt-bronze figure of an ecclesiastic. Created by Celtic artisans in the 12th century, this exquisite piece stands at a height of 19 cm and is currently housed in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. The figure itself represents early Irish art during the Hiberno-Viking period and was originally part of a wooden gabled shrine. Its intricate details and craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. The ecclesiastic is depicted wearing an ornate tunic, symbolizing his religious role within society. As we delve into the image, we can observe several distinct features that define this medieval bishop-like figure. Adorning his head is a mitre, denoting his high-ranking status within the church hierarchy. In one hand he holds a crozier, symbolizing his authority as shepherd to guide and protect his flock. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this metalwork artifact but also provides insight into early Christian practices during this era. It serves as a tangible reminder of our rich historical heritage and offers glimpses into ancient traditions that have shaped our present-day beliefs. Captured by Bridgeman Images' eBoltin Picture Library, this out-of-copyright print invites us to explore and admire the beauty found within these treasured relics from centuries past.
