Description: | An incomplete copper alloy golded figurine representing Jesus on the cross. The reverse is hollow with flat edges to enable it to sit flush against a wooden cross. The left arm is outstretched and raised, the hand is incomplete. The right arm is missing at the shoulder. The legs are close together and the feet are missing. the head is slightly forward and leaning to the right. The hair is long and swept across the back of the neck, resting on th left shoulder. The hips lean to the right and are covered by a cloth, twisted to form a band at the waits. The features, especially the hair and folds of the cloth, are well defined. this close detailing and teh hollow reverse strongly suggest a more post-medieval to modern rather than medieval date.
