Description: | A copper alloy, gilded and enamelled T-shaped plaque which comes from the left arm of a processional cross of 13th century date. A small part of the lower arm is missing. Three rivet holes are present. The plaque was produced at the Limoges enamel factory in Aquitaine, southwest France, and shows a winged and nimbate figure, probably intended to be St Mark.The plaque is very worn and only a small amount of gilding and enamel survives. Surviving patches of enamel are in dark blue and perhaps green.
