Anglian or Viking Gritstone Cross Fragment, 825 to 875 CE, The Yorkshire Museum, York

Two men are carved in stone on this cross. One man carries a sword, the other a horn and they are clasping hands in greeting. Images of people are very rare on crosses like these. The men depicted probably commissioned and financed this cross as a public demonstration of their status and Christian piety.
