Description: | Unknown object: a fragment of copper alloy with an iron core, possibly from the arm of a cross-shaped object. It has one broken edge, two concave edges, and a straight edge, suggesting that it originally formed one arm of a cross-shaped artefact or mount (cross pattee style). Both obverse and reverse feature simple inscribed crosses of rectalinear form. This indicates that the cross must have been of free-standing or pendant form, rather than being a mount.
The cross fragment is probably of medieval or postmedieval date, but its precise function cannot be aascertained. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
