A figurine of the Celtic god of the sea. Manannán mac Lir is the god of the sea, mists and the afterlife in Irish mythology. His name means “son of Lir”, and he is closely associated with the Isle of Man, which, according to legend, was named after him. In Irish myths, he appears as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the divine people who ruled Ireland before the arrival of mortal humans.
Manannán guards the gateways to Tír na nÓg, the Land of Eternal Youth, and other sacred islands hidden beyond the sea mist. He possesses powerful magical objects, including the sword Fragarach, which compelled everyone to answer truthfully, and the boat Scuabtuinne, which travelled without sails or oars. His white horse Aonbharr could run across the surface of the sea as easily as on dry land.
In Irish tradition, Manannán is the protector of sailors, travellers and warriors. He embodies wisdom, protection, mystery and the connection between the human world and supernatural realms. To this day, he remains one of the best-known figures in Celtic mythology, and his stories form an important part of Irish cultural heritage.
