EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Shrine of the Stowe Missal, a remarkable piece of Celtic art from the 11th century. Crafted with meticulous detail, this oak shrine is adorned with shimmering silver plates that add an air of elegance and grandeur to its overall appearance. Standing at a height of 18.7 cm, it currently resides in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Originally designed to house an 8th century mass book, this shrine underwent remodeling in the 1370s, further enhancing its beauty and significance. A true testament to Early Irish Art, it embodies the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of ancient times. The photo captures not only the intricate engravings on the silver plates but also highlights other embellishments such as enamels, crosses, rock crystals, and jewels adorning this medieval masterpiece. Each element contributes to its ornate decoration while reflecting early Christian influences. This image transports viewers back in time as they marvel at this extraordinary relic's craftsmanship and historical importance. The fine details captured by Bridgeman Images allow us to appreciate every aspect of this jeweled box that once held sacred texts.
