Anglo Saxon

Anglian Cross

This cross was found in the Coppergate excavations.

It's made of a copper alloy rather than a high-value metal.   It is an early object for Coppergate which is a mainly Viking site.  The cross is also an unusual style for Britain and may be from the continent.

It was most likely used as a brooch.
