Abstract (en)

Silver circular box with Dublin hallmarks, 1745-1746 and makers' marks of Thomas Isaacs and William Currie (attributes the box to Isaacs). Foliate rococo cartouches contain arms of the episcopal see of Kildare, with a Fletcher crest, and the seal and motto of the Corporation of County Kildare. Recipient of box would have been the bishop of Kildare, Thomas Fletcher.
