Description

A portrait of Brighid.

Depicted with a giving hand, but also holding a sword ready to strike out for justice. Not a lady to get on the wrong side of. Poet, patroness of the forge and a healer, her adornments, sword and bag all symbolic thereof.

She wears a crown of rushes, and is accompanied by Oyster catchers and two light coloured cows. The fire in the middle again ties in with her patronage to the hearth, forge and fires of creation.

The 3-spoked Brighid's Cross is one that is more common to Ulster.

Slaughtered by the scanner, but this will have to do until I get a better scan.
