By the King of Teamhair, the mighty chief,
To be presented in due form,
And to be brought to Teamhair Luachra....
Entitled is the King of Saithne to this,
To a steed and to two score of cows,
For his rising out is not less,
Neither is his caldron nor his vat.’[103]
Caldrons formed of iron, similar in shape and style of workmanship to those of bronze, have recently been found in Ireland. The Grainger collection, Belfast, contains two important examples from the Lisnacroghera crannog. A third, from Lough Erne, has been presented to the Royal Irish Academy collection by Mr. Seaton Milligan.
Among other bronze objects of domestic use discovered are small dishes, an interesting example of which is here illustrated. It is 7¾ inches wide, and is hammered out of a single piece of metal, and ornamented on the inside with a series of curved-line patterns.
