Description
ÉRIU, GODDESS OF IRELAND
Ériu, who gave her name to the island of Éireann/Érin=Ireland, was a princess of the legendary Tuatha Dé Danann, known also as the Sidhe or Fairy Folk, and is one of the three divine eponyms of Ireland.
Ériu, Banba, and Fodhla were the three warrior-goddess who reigned in Ireland at the time of the coming of the tribe known as the Milesians in ancient times and her name is remembered to this day. Her tribe eventually was defeated by the Milesians and they, in turn, venerated the triple goddesses and made them part of their heavenly pantheon of gods and goddesses.

A very detailed, beautiful and fine piece of artwork by Jim. Really this piece is the staple of Jim’s Celtic artwork, really adds flavour to those empty walls around the house!
