| DESCRIPTION | ||
| Hurling is a game similar to hockey, in that it is played with a small ball and a curved wooden stick. It is Europe's oldest field game. When the Celts came to Ireland as the last ice age was receding, they brought with them a unique culture, their own language, music, script and unique pastimes. One of these pastimes was a game now called hurling. It features in Irish folklore to illustrate the deeds of heroic mystical figures like Setanta and it is chronicled as a distinct Irish pastime for at least 2,000 years. This miniture hurley set is carved from the same type of wood as a "real" hurley and is 6.5 inches high. | ||
