Ennis Amber Amulet, County Clare, Ireland

(December 24, 2024, updated July 31, 2025) Macalister reports that this is an amulet of amber long in the possession of a family named O'Connor in the town of Ennis. It was used as an amulet for the cure of sore eyes. It was also believed also to be helpful in childbirth. The last hereditary holder of the object presented it to his superior in the employment of the Board of Public Works, by name Finerty . From him it was purchased by a Cork jeweller, named J. H. Graves , and then passed ultimately to the British Museum , by way of the Londesborough Collection. It is egg- shaped and perforated for a cord.

English Translation

A blessing upon
Thorgrim

Comment: To force fit this translation to the assumed runic translation required proposing that this ogham was "scholastic ogham." Even then the result is simply delusional being a Latinish "benediction" with a weird name.
