Description

Decorative pewter tankard featuring embossed scenes and text from the life of St Colman of Lynn. It is illustrated in four panels wrapped around the body of the tankard. It is from this Irosh folklore story that the name of the town Mullingar was born, in Gaelic Muilleann gCearr ( The Backward Mill).
