Canice's Cathedral: Chest Tomb Front Panel

3D Model

Front panel of a chest tomb (table tomb) against the wall in the Northern aisle of St Canice’s Cathedral. It depicts five apostles, but the 6ths is broken off. In my opinion, it very likely belongs with the other three fragments 1, 2, 3 in the Northern transept. The width and height of the arches correspond to fragment 1 and 2.

These parts are in the National Museum in Dublin, but is clearly from the same object.

Very likely from the O’Tunney workshop. Dr Rae (1966) has identified this as having been originally part of the James Shortall tomb.

No SMR no. as of January 2025.
