Description: | Flat cross-shaped pendant made from copper alloy and now rather corroded. Each arm of the cross flares from the centre; the centre is decorated with a single ring-and-dot motif. One of the side arms is shorter than the other, but both are identically shaped with the outer edge incurved. The lower arm is the longest, and has a straight-cut outer edge. The upper arm ends in a suspension loop which is turned at right angles to the plane of the cross, reminiscent of loops on medieval horse-harness pendants. This pendant is extremely hard to date, and the ring-and-dot decoration gives no help. It may be any date from middle Anglo-Saxon to 19th-century; a medieval date is perhaps most likely. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 650
