Description: | Religious pendant, probably post medieval in date. The pendant is decorated on both sides and has a pierced loop for suspension. On one side the pendant depicts an image of (possibly)a pope, facing left and holding a book. Around the edge of the image are the letters S.ION, following which is a tiny oval shape with radiating beams (presumably to depict rays of light) inside which are the letters IHS (as the initials for 'Iesus Hominum Salvator': Jesus Savior of mankind). At the other side of the pope figure are the letters D.LO. On the reverse of the pendant, the image shows a figure with a halo lying down with hands clasped across their body holding a crucifix, the figure appears to be inside a tomb and possibly depicts Christ. Around the right edge of the pendant are the letters S.FE.XAV. The object measures 26.6mm in length and 16mm in width, and weighs 1.63g. | 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: | 1500
