| Description |
These photographs don't really do justice to the excellent son et lumière sequence lighting scheme in the museum building - it's a superb way of presenting the crosses as they were intended to be seen. "The original is believed to be the first ever ring-headed ‘Celtic’ cross, now surviving only in fragmentary form. Its fragments were pieced together and the cross reconstructed as the centrepiece of the abbey Museum in 1995. The cross-head is a complex and elaborate construction consisting of eight separate elements interlocked together with mortise-and-tenon joints. The ring may have been an elegant repair solution to supporting the heavy cross-arms." - <a href="http://www.ionahistory.org.uk/iona/ionahome/ionaabout/ionadiscoveries.htm?id=discoveries-johns-cross" rel="nofollow">www.ionahistory.org.uk/iona/ionahome/ionaabout/ionadiscov...</a> |
