Description: | Late Saxon cast copper alloy crucifix, worn and corroded purplish metal, with the stump of a broken suspension-loop at apex. The figure of Christ is cast in relief on the face. Christ is shown wearing a crown and a short skirt or possibly trousers knotted at the waist. His arms appear to be bound. The style and execution of this crucifix are similar to that on a silver example from Gotland, illustrated in J. Graham-Campbell (1980) Viking Artefacts, no.531. See also an example from the Isle of Wight (PAS IOW2006-1/.JPG). 11th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
