There are some thirty-five surviving medieval European examples, in various conditions, of which nine are Insular. The majority are hip-roofed, with some gable-ended. The best known Insular examples include Saint Manchan's Shrine, Ireland's largest surviving reliquary, the early 8th century Scottish Monymusk Reliquary, the 8th or 9th century Lough Kinale Book Shrine, and the 9th century Irish Breac Maodhóg. Although a great many more where likely produced, most lost during Viking rates, 12th century Norman wars, later internal battles, or were dismantled and smelted so the bronze and sliver could be sold off.
