(d) With the figure of our Lord in relief on the front of the head, and a cross on the back 



As a rule the figure is shown alive upon the cross, according to the Byzantine fashion, 

 clothed in a tunic, the limbs being extended perfectly straight along the three arms, while the 

 head rests unbent against the fourth. Some other ways in which our Lord is depicted may 

 be seen in Old Cornish Crosses, 120. 



There are altogether forty-seven examples, of which about one half occur on unorna- 

 mented crosses, and the rest on ornamented crosses.

3. CROSSES WITH PROJECTIONS AT THE NECK 



This type exhibits the first development, in the introduction of an architectural feature 

 on a plain wheel cross, whereby the form of its outline is changed. 



The projections consist of a bold bead running from front to back of the stone on 

 either side of the neck, i.e., the junction of the head and shaft. It is a quaint and curious 

 type, and being peculiar to the county may be called, par excellence, the Cornish Cross. 



There are altogether thirty-one examples of this type, an inclusive list of which is given 

 below. Some of them, however, possess certain additional characteristics which place them in 

 other groups, and to distinguish the latter from those now under consideration, they have been 

 marked with an asterisk. 



Allen, St. In churchyard (fig. 66), Trevalsa ; Altarnun Trekennick ; Boconnoc 

 On Druid's Hill ; Bodmin Carminnow* ; Camborne In churchyard,* Outside the Institute *; 

 Cleer, St. The Longstone* ; Clether, St. On Basil Barton, 4, viz., No. I , by Inney Bank 

 (fig. 63). No. 2, near Basil farmhouse. No. 3, Cross gates. No. 4, near Tarret Bridge ; 

 Davidstow Trevivian ; Day, St. Scorrier, in grounds,* No. 2 ; Eastbourne (Sussex) In 

 Manor House grounds* ; Egloshayle ' Three-hole-Cross ' *; Gwinear On Connor Down* ; 

 Gwithian In churchyard ; Juliot, St. In churchyard, No. 2 (fig. 64) ; Laneast On 

 Laneast Down ; Lanteglos by Came/ford In churchyard (2) ; Lesnewth In churchyard ; 

 Lewannick Holloway Cross (fig. 65), Trelaske* ; Mylar In churchyard* ; Penzance In 

 Library garden* ; Perranzabuloe On Perran Sands* ; Phillack In a field ; Roche In 

 churchyard* ; Wendron, St. In Mrther Uny old churchyard.* 



The simpler forms of this type are all pretty much alike, varying chiefly in the form of 

 the cross on the head, or the shape of the space containing it. 



Three examples in the foregoing list have the addition of a central boss on the head, 

 viz. : 



Boconnoc On Druid's Hill ; Gwithian In churchyard ; Lanteglos by Came/ford 1 In 

 churchyard ; and in the last named there are four more bosses, one in each of the spaces 

 between the limbs of the cross and the bead on the edge of the head. 



There is a unique example at New Park, St. Clether (fig. 67), where in addition to the 

 projections at the neck there is a rectangular projection on the top of the head.
