Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy pendant of uncertain date. It is cruciform with arms that are rectangular in form and square in section, the lower arm being the longest and giving the entire object the appearance of a small crucifix. The upper arm terminates in old breaks at what appears to be a suspension or rivet hole of uncertain form. At the centre of the cross where the arms meet is an oval shaped moulding that has suffered from some post-depositional damage that obscures its original form or any decorative elements. The entire object measures 19.04mm in length, 17.84mm in width, 6.11mm in thickness at centre of cross, and 4.84g in weight.This is a simple lead pendant in the form of a cross. Similar crosses have been recorded through the PAS database (e.g. SF-5FC575 or SOMDOR1077) and suggest a probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date for the object, c.11th-17th centuries AD, although a slightly earlier or later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
