DERRYNAFLAN CHALICE

Derrynaflan Chalice

The 'Derrynaflan Chalice' is an 8th or 9th Century chalice, that was found 17 February 1980 near Killenaule in County Tipperary Ireland. The area known as Derrynaflan is an island of pastureland surrounded by bogland, which was the site of an early Irish abbey. They are among the most important surviving examples of Insular metalwork.
Derrynaflan Paten

The chalice, along with a silver paten, a paten stand, a strainer and a bronze basin were donated to the Irish State and are now in display in the National Museum of Ireland.
