Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Three leather budgets surviving in spite of dilapidation and secondary use appear to date from the Early Christian period or a little later. The Breac Moedóic budget is distorted by long usage for a house-shaped reliquary, but displays outstanding skill in design and technique, particularly in the way it was seamed from the inside. Its affinities are with the fine one-piece Irish shoes of 7th-10th centuries. The decoration is tooled in a compass-work design with tendril borders. The Corpus Christi budget appears much older than the early 12th century Irish miniscule missal it now contains. Similar in technical skill to the first example, it may even belong to the same workshop. The third budget was apparently designed for a larger MS than the Book of Armagh now kept in it. Originally laced, as were the other two, it was fitted in medieval times with a clumsy hasped lock. Its intricate tooled decoration of Jellinge derivation suggests an 11th-12th century date. No parallels in European leatherwork of later periods could be found for these pieces. | ||||||
