Title: PENDANT [Go to resource]
Description: A cast Iron cross, with wood inlay. Post-medieval date and christian in style. At top of iron cross is a hoop. On face side of cross, three strips of wood have been inlaid - one long strip on the vertical axis, and two for each arm of the cross. There are four rivets holding the wood to the iron base - one is fixed to the bottom of the cross, and the other three are spaced equally across the arms of the cross. Wood has oxidized and traces of green corrosion on two of the rivets indicate that these may be copper alloy. The rivets can be seen coming through to the back of the cross, which is otherwise flat.
