Stone cross shaft. Anglo-Saxon, early 9th CE. From Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. Formerly the lower part of a free-standing cross carved in relief with a stylized vine, its branches drooping with heavy bunches of grapes. In the middle of the vine is a figure wearing a tunic and holding a bow and arrow. He may be a visual reference to one of the Old Testament Psalms, as a personification of the 'Divine Word' seeking its target. H. 153 cm. Inv. PY 1924,1015.1.
