Bronze censer-cover, Anglo-Saxon, late 10th-early 11th century. The cover is in the form of a miniature church tower with rectangular pillars on a plinth crowned by an ornate gabled roof of a Rhenish (Rhineland) style. The plinth is decorated with simple punched ornament, while the triangular gables have rows of scallops, like roof tiles. A crude animal head projects from each corner like a gargoyle. The upper roof is made up of four panels of openwork birds and foliage, meeting below a knob and another animal head. The censer-cover would have been placed over a bowl of burning incense and hung from chains at each corner, the roof allowing the fragrant smoke to escape into the church. On one side is inscribed in Anglo-Saxon '+GODRIC ME WORHT', 'Godric made me'; possibly a metalworker associated with Pershore Abbey, Worcestershire, close to where the censer-cover was discovered in the eighteenth century. M&ME, 1960,7-1,1

Bronze shrine figure, Irish, early 12th century. The bearded figure depicts either an apostle or a saint. He is dressed in a bishop's robes decorated with fine scrolled spirals and geometric patterns. The arms project from the slender body and the hands hold a holy pose with the index finger and thumb touching. Although the decorative detail on this figure is essentially Irish, the form of the figure shows the influence of Romanesque art from continental Europe. It reflects a period of contact overseas and local reform in the church in Ireland, when a regular pattern of bishoprics was established. It is said to have been found on the site of the monastery of St John, Dublin. M&ME, 1868,7-9,52
