What is recorded here

No credible fact connects the requested Dublin, Boston or Baltimore claims to the facts above. The available fact is a granite head from St Selskar's church in Wexford, now numbered KD008 in the OPW store at Kilkenny. It has deep vertical hair cuts, wide eyes, an open mouth and a possible beard, but nothing more can be honestly claimed.
Originally from St Selskar's church (WX037-032009-) in Wexford. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD008). A granite carved head (L 0.27m; Wth 0.23m; D 0.12m) in low relief. Carved in high relief, face appears to be male, large recessed almost round eyes within oval eye sockets. Large pronounced nose, widening towards the nostrils, pronounced cheek and open horizontal mouth, possibly with a short tongue protruding. The curving chin has a smaller curving projection on either side, perhaps suggesting a beard. The hair is dramatic, with five deep vertical incisions.
