For the first time in local recorded history Tipperary’s Sheela Ni Gig’s complete collection have been historically reproduced in clay with some other complimentary antiquity stones. The aim of the production was to tie together folklore, local history and the replica stones for all to see in one place at the same time. The Sheela Ni Gig installation was created and produced over the past year by local Tipperary Tattooist Brian Murphy. It’s the first time that all Tipperary’s Sheela’s imagery and complexity can be viewed for all to see in a singular space and discussed as a whole collection rather than a single statue. Shrouded in mystery and mostly lost to history this elusive figurine has baffled the minds of many for centuries. Come join us in a discovery journey and delve into some of the unanswered questions of these Hibernian Mystery Stones. Where folklore history and mysticism meet, the mind is sure to follow. Make sure not to miss this unique and free interpretation and presentation of one of Ireland’s most esoteric characters the magical Sheela Ni Gig.
