Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment: the left arm from a figurine of Christ crucified ('Corpus Christi') associated with a medieval crucifix. The object is very worn and corroded and has suffered an old break around the elbow. On the hand the thumb is moulded and fingers delineated. The artefact lacks a circular perforation through the hand through which the figure might have been nailed to a wooden cross. A fragment such as this is difficult to date in isolation. | 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: | 1200
