BRONZE 11th Figure (artist impression) Saint Manchan's Shrine (Length 8 cm/3 inches) + Book + Invitation to book launch at Offaly History Centre. Personalised thank you card. (Image #1 & #2)
The 11th figure on Saint Manchan's Shrine became a source of much interest during the 19th century. The shrine was observed and sketched by the artist and archaeologist William Petrie around 1821; however, when it was put on display at the Dublin Exhibition in 1853, there were only ten figures remaining! In the year 1869 a figure that resembles George Petrie’s diary sketch was found in the possession of Mr. Robert Day, a well known Cork collector. It was returned to the shrine and attached to the right hand side of the front plate, where it remains to this day.
