              <text>&lt;p&gt;On the main banqueting table in the Great Hall sits a “mether,” which is a four-sided, four-handled Irish drinking vessel carved of wood. See also the methers in the Tower House Parlor.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;An example from the 16th century with the provenance “Kilcolman, Co. Cork” is currently in the Limerick Museum.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Other objects on the table here, in the Parlor and in the Tower House Parlor, are modeled after Tudor-era facsimiles in wood and pewter found at Barrycourt Castle, Co. Cork.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
