Something's off
Boo!

The lede says it was found in 1891 but all the following dates suggest that's wrong.

The last two sentences have me stumped too:

"Both short sides have a triangular bronze mount something missing here amber surrounded by interlacing. And this doesn't make sense-> One, one of which is in two cast pieces, that may have functioned as part of a looped hinge."

 * Baa-da. Sorted. Bell you rock, and appreciate the look. Ceoil (talk) 01:16, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I do rock, thanks for noticing [blushes]. You didn't get the date though; it still says it was found in 1891. Belle (talk) 08:28, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorted. I know your time, like yourself, is precious, but can you take another look please Belle. Ceoil (talk) 18:37, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Irish state?
"It was purchased by the Irish state in 1861". There was no Irish state in 1861. Does it mean the Dublin Castle administration, or if not, who specifically does it refer to? 2001:BB6:4713:4858:5494:E62E:716C:C23C (talk) 12:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC) Another question: it says 1889 in the lead. Which is right? 2001:BB6:4713:4858:9CB8:5ECD:6885:2D23 (talk) 10:51, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks...now changed to "it was purchased for the Royal Irish Academy in 1861". Ceoil (talk) 16:33, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I changed it to match Ceoil's sentence. (CC) Tb hotch ™ 02:22, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
