Free standing sandstone cross, dating to mid-ninth century, consisting of head of one cross and shaft of another, with stepped stone base. South-west face of shaft bears iconography depicting 'Daniel in the Lions' Den' at top of shaft with immediately below it 'The Sacrifice of Isaac' and below that 'Adam and Eve/The Fall of Man'. North-west face of shaft bears 'The Adoration of the Magi', 'The Wedding at Cana' and 'The Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes'. Beaded decoration runs up sides of the two faces and also around distinctive collar at top of shaft. Head of cross, which was added at much later date, has crucifixion scene with unidentified scene below it on north-west side. At centre of south-west of head is another depiction of 'Daniel in the Lions' Den', with 'Cain slaying Abel' to left and possibly 'Pilate washing his hands' to right. East and west sides of cross have bosses and interlaced decoration. Cross stands to height of 4.57m, on stepped stone-built platform with wrought-iron railings having barley-sugar twisted square pillars to four corners and arrow-topped balusters between with lower rail resting on turned cast-iron feet around entire monument.
The EU '3D-Icons' project aims to create highly accurate 3D models and a range of other materials (images, texts and videos) of iconic and internationally important monuments and buildings across Europe and to provide access to this data on line.
Over 130 monuments and buildings from Ireland, including decorated high crosses, the island monastery of Skellig Michael, the passage tombs of Knowth and Newgrange, and the ceremonial landscape of Tara are featured in this digital collection. In addition to making content available on line, this data has the potential to be of benefit to such sectors as education, tourism, the creative economy, conservation and monitoring of cultural heritage sites.
The site will continually be updated with new sites and functionality to enhance your experience.
Tá sé mar aidhm ag an togra Eorpach 'Íomhánna 3D' samhaltáin fíor-bheacht 3D agus réimse ábhair eile (macasamhail, téacsanna agus físeáin) a chruthú d'fhoirgintí agus séadchomharthaí íocónacha ar fud na hEorpa a bhfuil clú idirnáisiúnta ortha. Ina theannta sin, cuirfear an bailiúcháin digiteach seo ar fáil mar rochtain foinse oscailte.
I measc na 130 foirgintí agus séadchomharthaí as Éirinn a chuirfear ar fáil sa bhailiúchán seo, beidh ardchrosa mhaisithe, an mhainistir oileánach Sceilg Mhichíl, tuamaí pasáiste Chnóbha agus Sí an Bhrú agus tírdhreach deasghnách na Teamhrach.
Chomh maith leis an ábhar seo a chur ar fáil ar líne, beidh earnálacha oideachais, turasóireachta, tionscail cruthaitheachta, caomhnaithe agus monatóireachta suíomhanna oidhreacht chultúrtha in ann tairbhe a bhaint as an bhfoinse seo.
Leanfar ag cur leis na séadchomharthaí agus le feidhmiúlacht an suímh seo chun d’eispéiseas a shaibhriú.
