Description: | A lead crucifix, probably of Anglo-Saxon date. The crucifix is missing the upper and right arms; the left is now bent behind the cross. The two surviving arms are both D-shaped in section and decorated with transverse ribs. Both have a rounded terminal. The central panal is formed by a domed boss, which is riveted through the cross and filed flat on the reverse. The diameter of the domed panel is 8mm.The domed central panel brings to mind the central jewelled settings seen on Anglo-Saxon pectoral crosses, such as YORYM214 and LVPL1711.
