Description: | Cast copper alloy figure of The Virgin Mary from a processional cross, probably of 15th century date. The figure is likely to be one of the two (usually with John) detachable figures which fit into sockets at the base of a processional cross, and flanking the central figure of Christ. The figure is draped in a mantle from the head, facing slightly to the left, and has her hands against her breast. The rear of the figure is comparatively flat and is plain. The base of the figure has a double moulded border before a faceted stem, thinning to an arm of rectangular cross section, with no decoration. The arm has broken in antiquity. The remnants of guilding survive over the figure and the base. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
