Title
Middle Saxon aestel
Description
English: Gilt copper alloy chip-carved Middle Saxon openwork finial in the shape of a equal armed cross with pelta-shaped terminals. The four voids in the angles of the cross are also pelta-shaped but are aligned in the opposite direction. There is a 25mm long tapering socket at the base formed from two integral flaps of metal folded into a tube with a butted seam.

One face of the cross is decorated, the top arm and the slightly larger basal arm with a triquetra, and both lateral arms with a pair of concentric concave-sided triangles, while the centre is occupied by three concentric concave-sided lozenges. Gilding survives in most of the recessed parts of the decorated face.

Length 67mm. Width 35mm. Thickness 1.6mm. Socket external and internal diameter 10mm and 8mm. Weight 12.5g.
