Created by the Irish School in the 15th century, this silver-gilt masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 67.2 cm and is currently housed in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Believed to have been crafted as a gift for the Franciscan friary of Lislachtin, this cross bears significant evangelical symbols representing SS. Mark, Luke, and John.
