Description: | A post-medieval lead or pewter religious pendant. The pendant is circular and has a small loop at the top, cast integral to the body. One face depicts Christ, nimbate, standing under an arch, with an angel to either side. The inscription surrounding it reads ECCE AGNUS DEI ECCE - QUI TOLLIT PECCATA MUNDI ('Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who takes away the sins of the world', John 1.29). The other face depicts an elaborate floriate short cross with annulet at each terminal, each containing IHS. The inscription surrounding is unclear, and possibly reads MEMENTO ?MI ?BIENT IMMO[ ].
