Griffin Murray

Griffin Murray is an Irish archaeologist and art historian specialising in medieval Ireland and Insular art–especially metalwork–in the period between 400–1550 AD. His interests include identifying and contextualizing the social role of medieval craftsmen, Viking art and the relations between insular and Scandinavian craftsmen, and he is a leading expert on both house-shaped shrines and insular croziers.

His doctoral thesis "The Cross of Cong and Church Metalwork from Romanesque Ireland" was completed in 2007. As of 2021, Murray lectures on museum studies and medieval archaeology at University College Cork, Ireland. Provided by Wikipedia
