Summary

Description
English: Toirdhealbhach Mór O'Brien, King of Thomond (d. 1306), served originally as corbel, Ennis Friary. Another head was of a woman believed to be his wife. [1]

Corbel heads of a King and a Lady c. 1300
The male head bears a scarcely perceptible crown of at
least three points, and must therefore represent a king.
The lady's head is tilted slightly to one side, and is less
damaged; the two heads were possibly carved at the same
time and once formed a pair and served originally as
corbels. The "pill box" type of head-dress worn by the lady
was a style worn by ladies of high rank in the late
thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The corbel heads
may represent one of the O'Brien kings and his wife.[2]
