A rare piece of public art in Westmeath. Well-cast in bronze, this figurative statue adds interest to a prominent site to the east side of Mullingar. It depicts two medieval monks about to depart on a pilgrimage. It is located close to the site of a former Augustinian Friary (WM019-053---), recently excavated, and the inspiration behind this piece.
