4. The Ardagh Chalice: "The Ardagh Chalice is undoubtedly one of the most prized examples of eighth century metalwork in existence today. The combination of silver, bronze and gold coupled with the artistic and technical expertise evident in its design, which are thought to be, quite literally, centuries ahead of their time ensure that The Ardagh Chalice remains the most celebrated of Ireland’s historical artefacts.
Ireland’s most revered treasure is now housed at the National Museum of Ireland." From:
