About MeNine pieces cast from an early Celtic cross at Iona. The original, of slate, was sculptured with bosses, spiral, interlaced and serpentine ornament. The cross consists of four fragments cast separately from the front, four fragments cast separately from the back, and one side of another fragment from the cross-head. Together these pieces form a record of what the cross fragments looked like in 1901.
