Muiredach's High Cross, Monasterboice

Muiredach's High Cross, Monasterboice, Ireland.

One of the original Celtic High Crosses from the 9-10th Cerntury. This is the smaller of the two more ornate crosses at Monasterboice bein 5.5m (18 foot) tall! That's about 3 times taller than an average man's height! You can't quite appreciate the scale of it until you stand beside it!

Here's more information on the cross: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muiredac…

Here's a pyrograph loosely based on this cross.
