<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 5168299, member: 74712&quot;]looking at the manuscript image, I wonder if this is meant to be the cross of St. Cuthbert which hen became an emblem of Durham.&nbsp; You can see it on display at the <a href="https://www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/heritage/collections/st-cuthbert-treasures" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/heritage/collections/st-cuthbert-treasures" rel="nofollow">Cathedral museum</a> (they exhumed Cuthbert in the 19th c. And his grave goods are all on display).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1210721[/ATTACH] </p><p>I’ve seen later depictions of the cross develop into the much wider and curled ends as depicted in the manuscript (I couldn’t tell you where - it’s been 10 years since I lived in Durham). I have no idea if it is meant to be Cuthbert’s cross, but seemed very similar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
