Description: | A complete cast lead cruciform pendant of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. 1100-1800 AD). The cruciform shape of the pendant is asymmetrical, with the horizontal arms being offset towards the bottom of the vertical cruciform arm. The upper horizontal arm has a thicker top and a transverse suspension loop hole. The suspension loop hole would have allowed the pendant to hang vertically. Because of the simplicity of its design and lack of further embellishment, this pendant is difficult to date, although its form is typical to the periods ascribed. The object surface is heavily corroded with an uneven mid-grey to buff patina. Its measurements are: 23.5 mm (length); 21.0 mm (width); 5.6 mm (thickness); and 7.74 g (weight).
