Of the patée type on account of the small discs (paws) at the corners of its flaring arms, the cross is made of cast brass and engraved with roundels containing six-petalled flowers.  Ornaments of this type are commonly found in early Christian silverware and  architectural decoration.  At the base, the remaining part of a small flange, or tang, indicates that this small cross was probably once fixed to a handle as a portable item of personal devotion.
