ORNAMENT ON THE EARLY CROSSES OF CORNWALL. 



The cross in Sancreed churchyard possesses the best specimen 

 of this art. I refer to the well-known design of the Vessel and 

 Lily, supposed by some to represent the Holy Grail and Lily of 

 the Virgin. 



Some of the remaining forms will be more fully dealt with 

 in the description of the two crosses which have been selected 

 as examples of this style of decoration. 



The following is a list of 66 crosses, &c, which have 

 incised work upon them.
