Description: | A lead alloy cross of unknown date, but possibly Medieval. It has wide flat arms with rounded terminals and rounded internal angles. The front is decorated with an incised groove along the centre of each arm and crossing in the centre. There is a notch in the end of the upmost arm, and below the notch, a circular rivet hole now containing corrosion. The upper surface is uneven with some incised nicks, and other irregular dimples. The reverse has a similar uneven surface with an irregular circular raised area in the centre and what appears to be a deliberately incised star of six arms at the end of one side arm. The cross may have been mounted by the raised are on the reverse and the rivet hole, or may have been suspended from the hole. Compare SWYOR-764B67 and LEIC-D58B45 on the PAS database. The cross has a grey patina with hints of light green and some white corrosion.
