    “Senators will agree that we should place no emblem before us in this Assembly that is not of Ireland, in spirit and in workmanship, carrying in it the faith both of the Old Irish world and of the New.

    Mia Cranwill (born Maria Cranwill; 1 March 1880 – 20 October 1972) was an Irish designer and metal artist, and was one of the leading artists of the Irish Celtic Revival.
    ...
    One of her most significant pieces was commissioned by Alice Stopford Green, it was to create a metal casket for a scroll with the signatures of the Free State senators. The casket, known as the Senate Casket, has gold, silver, and enamel on a copper foundation. The shape is based on that of the Gallarus Oratory.[5] Upon its completion in 1924, it received universal praise, being exhibited at the NMI and the Manchester Art Federation. When the Senate was dissolved in 1936, it was presented to the Royal Irish Academy.[4] Newland Smith reviewed the casket, described Cranwill was a "designer and craftswoman who understands the national Irish style and can interpret it, create anew within it, and add to the old and delightful forms a personality and expression quite new" ...
