tom OF Tough Ernc.

a Rare Rollc Drought Up from tho Bot.
tom OF Lough Ernc. ..s..
During the progress of the Louoh
Ernc drainage works, says the Fer
managh (Ircland) Times, some rare and
interesting relics of bygonc ages were
discovered, but these sink into insig-
ni1ccncc when compared with q recent
ind which was dredged by fishermen
accidentally from the bottom of tho
lower Ernc from a depth of between
twenty and thirty feet from the surface
of the lake. This most interesting relic
has been secured by DIR. Plunlsctt, NJ.
Il. l. A., who intends reading a paper
descriptive of it before the Royal So
cicty of antiquities Mt their meeting
next summer. This rare fir d is very
ancient catcl1ach or shrine seven inches
long and about six and half inches
high and four inches broad ut the base.
The interior was carved out of ycw
wood and the exterior is composed of
bronze and beautifully decorated.
There was n small bronze box inside
the shrine, which appeared to be her.
medically scaled when perfect. In this
the sacred object was deposited, which,
unfortunately, was either lost or de-
composed by the action of carbonic acid
in the water.
In shape the shrine resembles the
little stonc-roofcd churches or oratories
which were erected between the seventh
and tenth centuries, and were contcm-
poraneous with the building of the
round towers. The ridge of the roof of
the shrine is surmountcd longitudinally
by billet of bronze, the from. side of
which is very artistically adorned with
various types of intcrlaccd patterns,
which arc displayed in scctions. There
nrc three raised bosses ON the front of
this housc-shapcd shrinc--a large one
situated on the roof and two smaller
ones on the front. The one on the roof
is composed of bronze and circular in
form, with IN amber bead IN the center,
which is surrounded with exquisitely
designed and delicately formed inter-
lacing. There were several smaller
amber and glass beads inlaid or in
serted here and there in the bronze
ornaments in order to cmbellish the in:
tcrlacing. In the two bronze intcrlaced
ornaments, on the ends of the shrine,
were inserted two beads of translucent
glass. From the style of art displayed
in the ornamcntation of this very inter-
csting rcliquary, it cannot be older than
the ninth, and certainly not later than
the eleventh century.
