Description: | NGR; A Medieval pendant Cross with a central roundel, engraved with the Greek letters for Alpha on the front and Omega on the reverse. These letters are used by the Christian Church to symbolize Christ as both Beginning and End. The arms of the Cross are short, with bulbous terminals.
The Cross is silver and dates from the twelfth or thirteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
Dimensions: length 24 mm, width 22 mm.
