What is recorded here

One eye closed, one open, the face watches both worlds at once. Trinity Abbey gave up its cross base to a museum, but the head keeps its own secret life in stone. Wrinkles and hair still move when nobody looks.

Davies (1948, 100) recorded a cross base (now in National Museum) which is believed to have come from Trinity Abbey, Co. Cavan (CV020-077001-). The head has bulging eyes, one of which appears to be closed, a long prominent nose, wrinkles on both cheeks and hair on top. See CV020-077004-.
