IRISH ANTIQUITY

Object Name: Pot : urn : cordoned
Description: Pot : urn : cordoned Two cordons encircle this pot. The rim has a deep internal bevel decorated with a chevron between two pairs of horizontal lines all executed in twisted cord. Externally decoration occurs between the rim and first cordon. It is made up of two major motifs, one in a lattice pattern and another in three bands of which two are filled with alternating oblique lines while the third is a repeat of the lattice pattern, but on a smaller scale. All of this ornamentation is carried out in fine twisted cord. There is no further decoration on this vessel. The ware is coarse and gritty and grain impressions occur on the body surface. It is buff to brown in colour.

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
