This cross is a reproduction in silver of a cross carved into an ancient stone found in the oratory graveyard at Kilcananagh, Inis Meain, the middle of the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland.
The oratory is a simple masonry church (quite small) built before 1200 AD. Several of the crosses found here combine the symbols of the Virgin Mary (the star and crescent moon) with a traditional cross.
The churchyard also contains a large round stone with a central hole, of interest because it was believed to be a healing stone and that to look through the hole was to see eternity.Dimensions: 1 " x 1 "
