Copper alloy crucifix |
||
| Description |
English: A crude copper alloy figurine of Christ, presumably originally attached to a wooden crucifix. It is difficult to date the figurine but it is possible that it is medieval in date. The figurine is cast; the torso is long and almost rectangular in section; the sides of the torso are horizontally grooved, perhaps to represent ribs; at the base of the torso, there is a rectangular moulding representing a loin cloth; this is diagonally grooved. The legs which are D shaped in section, are crossed. The arms which are oval in section, finish above the elbow. The oval head extends from a long D section neck. The eyes and mouth are picked out as incised detail. The underside of the figurine is flat and plain, except in the area where the arms extend. At this point there is an applied rectangular section strip of copper alloy running the width of the figurine. This may have aided attachment of the figurine to a crucifix. The figurine is 98mm in length, the torso has a width of 18mm, whilst from arm to arm the figurine has a width of 35mm. The figurine is approximately 8mm thick. |
