There will be tree works in the Gardens this week – please follow signs on site. The lift will be out of service until Friday 28 June while we work on a replacement.
Silver pendant with a large, slightly eliptical loop at the top, with a triangle at the top of it, and one on each side. It has a short horizontal axis across the cross, and a thick vertical axis. There are conical triangles at the end of each cross spoke. The top half of the cross has more embossed line designs on it than the bottom half. The "croix" pendants (except for the croix d'Ingall) are made by the lost wax technique.
These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.
The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
