Description
Face A of AS Corpus Hart 07, part of an incomplete cross head dated to the second quarter of the ninth century. This face includes the figure of a Lamb, facing to the right, with all four feet on the ground, and showing part of a halo. "Facing the Lamb is a figure with a similar nimbus and a book clasped between its front paws. The book has a single sunken roundel placed centrally. The creature's head is blunt and rounded, and could be leonine. It appears to have three pairs of wings, two pairs raised and another lying along its back. Below the feet of the Lamb is a frontal figure with two raised wings appearing behind its halo. The halo has three sunken roundels, and the head appears to be horned. To its right is a book with a central sunken roundel".
