    This is a wonderful plaque based on the early Christian Kilnaruane pillar stone, which stands on a hillside in a field overlooking Bantry Bay. This ancient carving is held to celebrate St Brendan’s voyage in a curragh to America, several centuries before Columbus. St Brendan is the patron saint of sailors and travelers.
    From an original design by Kathleen Smyth.
    Cast by hand at Kinsale, Co. Cork, Ireland
    Q.
    How are the Studio's designs made?
    A. All Wild Goose's work is handmade by skilled craft-workers using a cold cast method. Each piece has a shell of pure cast iron or bronze backed by a resin and ceramic core. Any variations in finish are part of its appeal.
