About the Design
Dating back to the 8th Century, The Ardagh Hoard is a collection of 8th Century Irish Christian metalwork consisting of The Ardagh Chalice, a plainer stemmed cup in copper-alloy, and four brooches. The best known piece of the hoard is The Ardagh Chalice. The chalice is a large, two-handled silver cup, decorated with gold, gilt bronze, brass, lead pewter and enamel, which has been assembled from 354 separate pieces; this complex construction is typical of early Christian Irish metalwork. . The Ardagh hoard is on display in the National Museum of Ireland.
