Description: | A Medieval cast silver equal-armed cross-shaped pendant with an integral suspension loop dating from AD 1200 - 1300. One of the side arms is missing owing to an old break. A square panel forming the centre of the cross is decorated on both faces with an engraved cross saltire in a double border. Each arm of the cross is sub-circular in cross-section and each terminates in a globular knop. faint spiral lines on each terminal suggests that they were made by trailing silver or by winding silver wire. A relatively large cast circular suspension loop at the top is turned through 90° to the plane of the main part and is slightly distorted.The cross pendant is 28.6mm long, 14.5mm wide and 6.8mm thick. 3.22g.A very similar example but with polyhedral knops is IOW-73CB12 (2007 T650) which cites a cross in similar style from Farndon, Nottinghamshire (Treasure Annual Report 2003, no. 212) as a parallel. Compare also DOR-DE5AC2 (2013 T820), IOW-CE9201 (2009 T192) and NARC-FFF2C0 (2006 T85). These crosses are also very similar to examples with the magical inscription AGLA on them.
