This book showcases the excellence of early-medieval Irish fine metalwork, a pinnacle in European decorative arts. Masterpieces of goldsmith's art, both personal ornaments and items for religious use, from the 7th to the 10th centuries, are featured. Recent discoveries and international exhibitions have enriched our understanding of this art form.
