Jewellery for Christians | First Fragments (pt 2)

The First Fragments exhibition has more than just papyrus on display. Among the fascinating artefacts you'll find 4th-century emerald ring decorated with a symbol that marks out its owner as a Christian...
The First Fragments exhibition runs in the Chester Beatty, Dublin, until 3 September 2023, and entrance is free. Further details: chesterbeatty.ie/exhibitions/first-fragments/
Acknowledgments: we are grateful to the Chester Beatty for granting us permission to film on location, and especially grateful to Dr Jill Unkel (Curator of Western Collections) for facilitating our visit.
