Description: | Religious cast copper-alloy mount broken in half (upper half: 69x46x7 (at lug); lower half: 16.25g; 66x33x4, 21.39g). It is composed of a young saint (?Christ-child) in a niche, holding a staff topped with a cross and stepping over/trampling what looks like a lion cub or a lamb. The canopy is topped with a cross and it has a rose (possibly a Lancastrian symbol?) on either side of the triangular roof. The columns on either side are plain and the roof itself decorated with a large central flower. There is a lug on the back of the cross at the top, with a perforation in which remains the trace of a small iron or copper-alloy loop from a chain. Date and Origin of the pendant are difficult to determine, but it is more likely to be late 17th or 18th century than medieval.
