Gráinne Mhaol / Grace O'Malley Bronze Sculpture
Born in 1530 as Gráinne Ni Mhaille, Gráinne was queen of Umhaill (Connaght) in the west of Ireland, and a fearsome trader and pirate. Ireland was under English rule and Gráinne was a known rebel to the crown. In 1593 she travelled to England to appeal for the release of her two sons and brother. Queen Elizabeth agreed on the condition that Gráinne end her rebellion and piracy against England (which she reneged upon). Gráinne died in 1603 in her home place on Clare Island.

"The Men of Aran" Bronze Sculpture
The Men of Aran - “Pulling together”
The men of the Aran Islands used to carry their traditional fishing boats, known as a currach or naomhóg ('little saint') to the sea everyday, to bring home the catch of the day in order to sustain their community. They also wore the traditional Aran sweater woven with celtic knotwork, which represented prayers to keep them safe at sea. Lore has it that the seas around the islands were so dangerous that fishermen of times past wouldn't bother learning to swim, since they knew they'd have no chance against the wild currents.

Copper Heraldric Shield
This heraldric gift features your Coat of Arms beautifully handpainted onto a handbeaten copper base by a dedicated team of heraldic artists, who have been applying their craft and handpainting Coats of Arms in Dublin, Ireland for over 60 years!
Dimensions: 18" × 16"
Materials: Copper, Gloss Paint
As this product is individually crafted and handpainted, please allow up to 6-8 weeks for delivery.
Traditional coat of arms designs date back to the 12th century, where decorating defensive shields became a useful way of identifying knights in the heat of battle. These insignia were created by officials known as heralds, who also recorded and regulated armorial bearings. Their records were known as blazons. Typically a blazon has three components - arms (the 'flag' part of the image), crest (the design surrounding the flag), and the motto (which often originated as a war cry).
Established in 1953 as the manufacturing wing of the 'Historic Families' business, House of Names is a leader in the field of heraldry. Their product range consists of detailed Irish-made shield plaques engraved with surnames, skilfully crafted by a team of heraldic artists. Through their vast library, researchers trace 96% of all known names requested, including those of Irish, British and European origin.
