Treasure trove goes on show

LOST in admiration, Jessica Smyth holds an exquisite piece of ancient Irish history.

Nearly 2,000 years old, the food vessel is a powerful example of the superb skill of the early Bronze Age craftsmen.

The priceless artefact is part of the treasure trove unearthed during archaeological excavations at historic Tara, Co Meath, in the 1950s.
