Description: | A copper alloy, enamelled T-shaped mount which comes from the arm of a processional crucifix or altar cross of 13th century date. A part of the arm is missing. A rivet hole is present in the centre of the top edge of the cross bar.The plaque was produced at the Limoges enamel factory in Aquitaine, southwest France, and shows a wing of a figure, and the edge of what is probably a halo. The plaque is worn and only a small amount of the enamel survives. Surviving patches of enamel are in dark blue and perhaps green. It is 30.4mm long, 21.1mm wide, 4mm thick and 5.66g.Other limoges style mounts recorded on the database include NMS-0241D8, WAW-2EF3A7 and GLO-B28210.
