Summary
| Description |
English:
Toirdhealbhach Mór O'Brien, King of Thomond (d. 1306), served originally as corbel, Ennis Friary. Another head was of a woman believed to be his wife.
[1]
Corbel heads of a King and a Lady c. 1300 The male head bears a scarcely perceptible crown of at least three points, and must therefore represent a king. The lady's head is tilted slightly to one side, and is less damaged; the two heads were possibly carved at the same time and once formed a pair and served originally as corbels. The "pill box" type of head-dress worn by the lady was a style worn by ladies of high rank in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The corbel heads may represent one of the O'Brien kings and his wife. [2]
