What is recorded here

Danny Osborne built the memorial from jade, thulite, granite and porcelain because marble alone seemed inadequate for Wilde. The finished figure reclines on a Wicklow quartz boulder, wearing a Trinity College tie and rings marked for good and bad luck. Constance Lloyd and Dionysus stand beside him in bronze and granite, turning a private joke into a public monument.
