Description: | Small, thin crucifix made from cu-alloy sheet. It is bend in places, but complete. The small figure of Jesus is riveted to the cross and has a small plaque (part of the cross, not individually attached) with INRI above his head. The cross is plain except for the dotted border outline and the small scallop shell at the terminal of three of the four arms. Because of the presence of the shells it is possible that this cross was bought or has been given to a pilgrim at Santiago di Compostella, Spain, since the scallop shell has been associated with St James of Compostella. | 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
