status: Awaiting validation 
A worn post-medieval cast copper alloy crucifix pendant, missing its suspension loop and the topmost portion of the cross. The details are moulded in relief and show Christ on the cross, with a loin cloth or other drapery and head inclined to the left, with a smaller crucifix in a panel over his head on the upper arm. Each arm of the cross has a rounded end with a pair of flanking knops around half way along and the lowermost tip of the shaft has a damaged trefoil stump, possibly from a loop or openwork finial. The reverse is hollow with an irregular interior surface from casting. Circa 16th - 18th century.
