Processional Cross
Processional cross cast from bronze in two parts; cross and hollow shaft with lower arms. The tapering shaft has a deep vertical slot into which the body of the cross sits, secured in place with two iron nails. Extending out from the shaft are lyre shaped lower arms with two slotted extensions on the upper edge which support the body of the cross. The body of the cross has a central patée cross with flared arms set within a quatrefoil. Separating the cross from the quatrefoil are four motifs resembling crossed double lancet windows. Around the edge of the Quatrefoil are seven pateé crosses with flared arms which join to form squares with ovoid cut outs known as dove's eyes. These are surmounted alternately with single and trefoil rings. Between the patée crosses are six crosses formed by four rings. The outline of the quatrefoil and crosses are engraved with linear designs.
