The ring brooch was found by Mr Ian Andrew while walking on the beach at Cloosmore, Dingle. After taking a closer look, he identified and retrieved this tiny but exquisite gold ring brooch. The brooch is an example of a rare type of 13th/14th century ring brooch with projecting hands. The ring brooch will be on display in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh on Friday and Saturday, October 5 and 6. This scheme facilitates loans from the National Collections to regional museums in order to make these collections more accessible for all.
