Galway. Steeped in both local heritage and natural history, the bog oak is estimated to be between 3,000 and 6,000 years old, offering a powerful connection to Ireland’s pre-Christian past and its enduring spiritual traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003eThe base stone, also gathered from the same sacred landscape, contains small, timeworn fossils and is thoughtfully embedded with additional pieces of bog oak, creating a layered interplay between earth, time, and craftsmanship. Together, these elements form a striking, meditative sculpture — a celebration of the Irish land and its long memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003eStanding 45cm (17.5\") tall, this piece makes a unique and meaningful addition to any home, studio, or sacred space.
