Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy pendant of probable Medieval date. It is in the form of an equal armed cross, with an incomplete but integrally cast suspension loop at the top. Each of the rectangular arms are trapezoidal in section and have trefoil terminals at their ends. Traces of gilding are visible on the sides of all the arms. The itegral suspension loop is rectangular in form, oval shaped in section and begins to curve backwards before terminating in old breaks. This pendant measures 33.36mm in length, 24.17mm in width, 2.70mm in thickness, and weighs 3.37g. This pendant is of probable Medieval date, perhaps dating as early as the 12th century AD but it may equally date to the later Medieval period, perhaps c.1100-1500 AD.
