Description: | A cast, copper-alloy fragment of a Corpus Christi from a Medieval crucifix. Remaining are the head and chest of Jesus, along with the remnants of his outstretched upper arms. The arms are broken between shoulder and elbow and the body is missing below the waist. The arms are circular in cross-section. The head of Jesus is shown slumped to his right. The facial features of eyes, nose, mouth and beard are still clearly visible. The long, shoulder-length hair is depicted with a central parting across the head. The reverse of the crucifix has a U-shaped recess which would have allowed the figure to be slotted onto a cross or a backing plate.The front surface of the object has traces of gilding remaining.
