 This fragment from the schaft of a large, free standing stone cross is richly carved with Christian imagery. The swirling vines evoke the concept of Christ as the "True Vine", while the archer shooting his arrow may symbolise the spread of God's "Divine World". The raising of large stone crosses became popular in parts of Anglo-Saxon England. Typically placed outdoors, sometimes in churchyards, they acted as beacons of belief in the landscape, marking places where people could gather to hear Christian preaching.
