Summary
| Description |
View of reverse of the original Canterbury Cross which is on permanent display at Canterbury Heritage Museum, Canterbury, Kent, England. The photo of the reverse appears to show several bronze hooks. Dated circa 850 AD, made of Anglo-Saxon bronze. To Anglican Christians it symbolises the Church of Canterbury. Dug up in St Georges Street, Canterbury, in 1867. "Cast in bronze with incised decoration and with applied silver triangles engraved and filled with niello enamel to give subtle contrasts of colour" (information from description card in Heritage Museum). Note: Although this photograph is of inferior quality, it is the only one currently available to Wikipedia which shows the reverse of this iconic artefact. It is hoped that it can be replaced in future with a better image; meanwhile please do not delete. Thank you. |
