Alright, final part of Rock of Cashel.

These final pics will be from the museum, and the room they had set up.

I honestly don’t remember what this room was. A common room I think?

I didn’t write down anything about this part of the tour, but I remember we didn’t stay long in here and that I wasn’t able to get a clear shot of this seal thing.

Tapestry!

So in the museum, this is the actual St. Patrick’s Cross, from the 12th century.

Elephant and Castle. I’m sure it means something, and I heard it at one point, but I just find a castle on an elephant to be really funny. So.

Cashel brooch! Thus called, I assume, because this style originated in Cashel?

This is a tomb slab.

Detail.

Crested Griffins! They’re so cute~

That’s actually it for the museum, but here’s a bit of cross from outside:
