Details

This brooch is based on a decorative initial letter taken from the Psalter of Rhigyfarch, an 11th century illuminated manuscript originally produced at Llanbadarn Fawr in West Wales. The manuscript is a fine example of this type of Celtic Art. Like many other Celtic treasures, it was preserved by being taken to Dublin, where it is now held by Trinity College Library.
