Description: | A small gilded cast copper-alloy object: possibly an early-medieval pendant. The object is broadly cruciform with one arm longer than the others which are all of equal length. Furthermore, the longer arm may have been broken. There are square protrusions between the arms. The artefact has one flat face. The other is moulded, with raised pellets on the longer arm within a border. The strip of pellets bifurcates and travels into the 'side arms'. The 'upper arm' is decorated with a cross incised in saltire. Below this latter there are two perforations for attachment. All faces of the object is gilded with green bronze disease showing through. The artefact is tentatively dated as early-medieval, although the decoration undiagnostic. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
