Description: | A small cast silver pendant in the shape of a cross, which dates from the 13th century. One of the side arms is missing. From top to bottom the pendant measures 21.3mm. It is 12.2mm wide, 2.2mm thick and weighs 1.47g. The plain circular suspension loop is set at ninety degrees to the rest of the pendant and there is a collar below it. Its external diameter is 4.7mm. There is a small roughly spherical knop at the end of each of the surviving arms, which are cylindrical. In the centre of the cross there is a flat square section, which is engraved on one side with a saltire cross and on the other with a simple cross within a square border. Both are filled with niello. This pendant is similar to a cross-shaped silver pendant from Farndon, Nottinghamshire (2003 T212), although the Farndon pendant is larger, with more defined knops and a circular central section.
