Description: | Cast lead-alloy crucifix. Medieval or post-medieval. Incomplete. Mass: 8.5g; length: 34.1mm; width: 17.6mm; thickness: 7.2mm. A finely detailed figure of Christ in relief is repeated on both sides. The crucifix is broken at the base, on each side-arm of the cross and at the top. The crucifix has a grey surface, with a brown substance adhered in parts, probably from its time in the ground. Based on the surface condition, some of the breaks may be recent (e.g. plough damage), but the brown substance is also visible on some of the broken surfaces, particularly on the side-arms, which appear to have been less recently broken. There is a small cavity on one side of the object, at about hip level. This is probably a casting defect. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
