Ardagh Chalice - Rear Projection Bulb - China Replacement Projector BulbArdagh Chalice Ardagh chalice at the National Museum of Ireland Material Silver, gilt bronze, gold wire, glass, and enamel. Created Early Christian Period (700 AD - 800 AD) Discovered 1868 near the village of Ardagh, County Limerick, Ireland Present location National Museum of Ireland, Dublin The Ardagh Chalice, which ranks with the Book of Kells as one of the finest known works of Insular art, in truth of Celtic art in general, is thought to have been made in the 8th century AD. The large, two-handled silver cup, prettified with gold, gilt bronze, brass, lead pewter and enamel, has been gathered from 354 distinguished pieces. The main body of the chalice is formed from two hemispheres of sheet silver are joined with a rivet concealed by a gilt-bronze band. The names of the apostles are incised in a frieze around the bowl, under a girdle bearing inset gold wirework panels of animals, birds, and geometric interlace. Techniques applied include hammering, engraving, lost-wax casting, filigree applique, cloisonn and enameling. It was found in 1868, together with a little bronze cup and four brooches, by two boys, Jim Quinn and Paddy Flanagan, digging in a potato field on the south-western side of a rath (ring fort) called Reerasta, besides the village of Ardagh, County Limerick, Ireland. It had a bronze cup within it, and four ornate brooches (fibulae). Buried without the least shelter as they were, covered merely by a slab of stone, the pieces must have been interred in a hurry, in all probability temporarily, as though the owner in all probability intended to return for them at a later time. The brooches found with the chalice show that it was not buried until the Vikings period. It is now in the National Museum of Ireland. The usual monograph is L.S. Ggan, The Ardagh Chalice The chalice was featured on a 1 value definitive postage stamp issued by An Post amongst 1990 and 1995 as share of the series Irish Heritage and Treasures designed by Michael Craig. Two Gaelic Athletic Association trophies are modeled on the Chalice: the O'Duffy Cup and the Sam Maguire Cup. Finally, it may be affiliated to the Derrynaflan Chalice found close by in the neighboring County Tipperary. At that time the ruling dynasty in Tipperary and most of Munster were the Eganachta, while their allies and possible cousins the U Fidgenti ruled in the Limerick area (see Byrne 2001; Begley 1906). Although the early suggestion that the chalice was fabricated at Clonmacnoise and stolen from there by a Limerick Dane is widely circulated, this is unprovable. A Munster origin is just as likely if not more so given the 1980 invention of the sister Derrynaflan Hoard. A Clonmacnoise origin is not cited at the National Museum of Ireland internet site .
