monday mural by friz

Located in Sligo, this is a Friz creation done in 2012  I showed one of her murals before. 

The central character is a representation of the Garavogue river that flows through the town. She wears shell earrings and a crown of oak leaves, two symbols present on the crest. Other parts in the design that are featured on the crest are the tree, hares and stones (representing the tower/castle). The two prominent mountains visible from the town, benbulben and Knocknarea are in the background.

    This is very well done! Benbulben is one of those "must visit" places in Ireland!

    I wouldn't want to mess with her! She looks quite fierce.

    Lovely mural made more so no that we know about the local symbolism. The town crest must go way back. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
