- The Corp Naomh ([kɔɾˠpˠ n̪ˠiːvˠ], CoR-Ph Na-oF, English: Holy or Sacred Body) is an Irish bell shrine made in the 9th or 10th century to enclose a now lost hand-bell, which probably dated to c. 600 to 900 AD and belonged to an early Irish saint. The shrine was rediscovered sometime before 1682 at Tristernagh Abbey, near Templecross, County Westmeath. The shrine is 23 cm (9.1 in) high and 12 cm (4.7 in) wide. It was heavily refurbished and added to during a second phase of embellishment in the 15th century, and now consists of cast and sheet bronze plates mounted on a wooden core decorated with silver, niello and rock crystal. It is severely damaged with extensive losses and wear across almost all of its parts, and when discovered a block of wood had been substituted for the bell itself. However the remaining elements are considered of high historical and artistic value by both archeologists and art historians. Sections from its original, early Medieval phase include the cross on the reverse and the ornate semi-circular cap, which shows a bearded cleric holding a book. He is surrounded on both sides by horsemen above whom are large birds seemingly about to take flight. It was extensively refurbished in the 15th (and possibly 16th) centuries when the central bronze crucifixion of Jesus, the griffin and lion panel, the stamped border panels and the backing plate were added. The badly damaged crucifixion and large enamel stud on the front date from at least the 15th century. The shrine's medieval provenance is incomplete. It was probably held by hereditary keepers after the dissolution of Tristernagh Abbey in 1536 until it later passed into the possession of the Anglo-Irish owners of the site. The Corp Naomh was first exhibited in 1853 by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) and was transferred to the National Museum of Ireland in 1887. (en)

- A hand-bell shaped shine with a main face containing large central crucifixion, and a rock crystal to the lower left. The embossed panel above Christ's right arm is decorated with animals. The semicircular cap and crest above the main face shows a highly detailed central figure, likely an ecclesiastic, holding a book. Horse riders and birds are on either side of him. (en)
