Description
Material: Walrus Ivory. Accession no: BM 001. Current location: The Hunt Museum, Limerick.
This reliquary cross is made in two pieces, which, when put together, form a box in the shape of a crucifix, perhaps to contain a relic of the true cross. The front depicts the figure of Christ on the cross under the hand of God. Christ's foot overhangs the frame and the finely carved loin-cloth falls below the knee. The eyes are inlaid with either jet or paste. The reverse shows the Agnus Dei within a quatrefoil surrounded by the symbols of the Four Evangelists. 12th Century.
