19th-century triangular-topped slate headstone of William Spedden (born c. 1741) who died aged 100 in 1841 & was buried in Nenagh graveyard, Kenyon Street, Co. Tipperary. Above the inscription there is a Latin Cross with expanded terminals flanked on either side by a ciborium or communion chalice. According to Wikipedia; 'A ciborium (plural ciboria) is a vessel, normally in metal. It was originally a particular shape of drinking cup in ancient Greece and Rome, but the word later came to refer to a large covered cup designed to hold hosts for, and after, the Eucharist, thus the counterpart of the chalice. In medieval Latin, and in English, "Ciborium" more commonly refers to a covered container used in Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and related churches to store the consecrated hosts of the sacrament of Holy Communion. It resembles the shape of a chalice but its bowl is more round than conical, and takes its name from its cover, surmounted by a cross or other sacred design'.
