Bishop Walter Wellesley’s tomb is a feast of medieval sculpture. The Tomb was originally located at at Great Connell, County Kildare. The remains of the tomb are located in the Cathedral in Kildare. The Sheela is carved under the top left corner of the tomb. The sheela is ‘chubby’ and typical ‘cherub’ like hair, uni-brow eyes nose and mouth clearly defined. She have two uneven round breasts, and hands holding back the feet, legs bent at the knees. Her navel is ‘boomerang’ shaped, pointing downwards. She has a line defining her waist. It is unclear if the carvings around the genitals are intended to be public hair, or if this carving may be a ‘Cherub’. The tomb include dragons, human figures, angles, beasts, saints, and crucifixion and resurrection scenes
