37. The Sculpture

 

This bronze sculpture erected in 1994 depicts modern Tuam as a community looking outward into the world but embracing its history with Saint Jarlath’s wheel in the center. At the base are three motifs from the town’s Coat of Arms – the Crown of Tuam’s 12^th century High Kings, Christ’s crown on the High Cross of Tuam and the broken chariot wheel of Saint Jarlath founder of the town and its diocese.
