A site of pilgrimage since medieval times, Lough Derg is associated with many Irish Saints, including Patrick and Brigid, whose cross from an ancient carved stone on the island is incised on this font. Water forms an important part of the pilgrimage, which involves a crossing by boat.
An original design carved by Kathleen Smyth based on an ancient carving at Lough Derg, it has a carefully polished pure bronze finish with a ceramic resin cold cast core.
