    O Mac "... carrying case for a holy book." So not to far off with my ornate book cover guesstimate.

    From "Irishmusic1981" on Instagram ...
    "Cross of Clogher (12th- 14th centuries)
    The Cross was uncovered in a thatched roof of a church at Slavin, County Fermanagh. It was later donated to Saint Macartan's Seminary, Monaghan.
    The Cross of Clogher is one of the most famous pieces of Medieval Irish Art.
    The oak cross is fully encased in bronze. Each bronze
    panel is riveted on the wood and richly decorated with
    Christian iconography. The topmost panel depicts a
    crucifixion scene in high relief with angels on either side.
    The reverse is decorated in a repeated geometric design.

    Account of the discovery in the Frontier Sentinel - Saturday 22 May 1943:
    The Clogher Cross was found by the late Rev. E. J. Quigley, P.P., Newbliss, in 1898, when he was a curate in Devenish, Garrison. A dying man named Campbell handed him the cross. which had hung for 50 years or more in the old thatched chapel at Slavin on the lough side. It is a medieval treasure and is now in the Museum attached to the Seminary in Monaghan. It might be called the Devenish Cross.
  • John Spooner said:
    On the occasion of a shrine being provided for the cross, the Frontier Sentinel of Saturday 1 January 1949 gave Fr. Quigley's account of comforting the dying man Campbell and how he got hold of the cross:
    " I called back a few times and comforted him (Mr. Campbell). He got somewhat better . , and was grateful. ' They tell me,' he said, ' you are interested in old noggins, horn spoons and pewter plates. I have none of these things, but step up on that chair, and in the bed tester (a canopy) over the bed you'll find a weighty cross.'

    "I did as he told and, covered with dust and grime. there was the now famous Cross. 'Tie it on your bciycle and bring It home with you.'

    "'This old Cross,' he said, 'was hanging long ago in the old thatched roof Church at Slavin, on the shores of Lough Erne. It is very old, and the people loved it. Some way or other it got into our family to keep it safe. It is here for fifty years. There it is, take it. I know you will look after it.'

    "I took it, cleaned it as best I could . . . "
