Description: | A drawing of a tomb "near the SE corner of the church at Oransay", drawn by John Cleveley, junior, in 1774 after a sketch by John Frederick Miller taken in 1772. One of a number of distinctive Celtic tombslabs at Oronsay Priory. Oronsay is a small Hebridian Island close to Colonsay. It has a ruined medieval Augustinian priory. This relief is of Canon Bricius MacMhuirich, from one of two local families the MacDuffies and MacMhuirichs who provided many of the priors and canons for Oronsay. This is from the Oronsay School of c.1500-1560. This relief shows the canon's voluminous monastic cape with angels at his pillow. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cleveley Junr., John | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
