Description: | A cast lead object, probably a casting spue from a mould, possibly a home made cross pendant of uncertain date (Roman - Post Medieval). It is cruciform with one arm longer than the others, the arms are rectangular in cross section with fairly straight breaks at the end apart form the longer arm with has a more irregular break. They are all bent slightly out of alignment. The longer arm may have has a piercing through it allowing the piece to be used as a pendent but this is not clear. Lead crosses with suspension loops are known which were probably pendants but as they were home or locally made they are highly variable. It is 27.4mm long, 23.0mm wide and 6.1mm thick; it weighs 8.52 grams.
