Manx cross

myminifactory

This impressive Manx styled cross plaster cast stands proudly at the Isle of Man, skillfully carved in slate with a runic inscription that dates back to the 11th century. Situated in the historic graveyard of Kirk Braddan, this remarkable relic showcases the Island's vast collection of over 200 intricately decorated stones - an unparalleled concentration for its period. The earliest slabs display Celtic styles ranging from simple cross designs to later elaborate interlace patterns. Inscriptions in Celtic lettering and occasionally Latin honor the deceased.
