Irish High Crosses: With the Figure Sculptures Explained - Harbison, Peter; Gilmore, Hilary

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; appears unread; High Crosses are among the most important monuments to survive from Ireland's Gold Age of Saints and Scholars, and over 75 of them are described here.This book is designed as a field guide for those who want to study the crosses at first hand, and numerous diagrams assist in pinpointing the various Old and New Testament scenes sculpted on them. The crosses are arranged in alphabetical order of their sits, and a map and national grid references should help the reader to locate them on the ground.
