The different ways in which the Figure is represented may 

 be classified as follows : (1), sometimes He is shewn clothed in a 

 tunic with the limbs straight, and the head and body unbent, 

 after the Byzantine fashion of depicting Our Lord alive upon 

 the cross. The bottom of the tunic is well defined, and the 

 sleeves are widened at the ends like the expanded arms of a cross 

 hiding the hands. Examples of this kind are found at the 

 following places, four of which are in the parish of S. Buryan, 

 viz. : — in the churchyard, in the churchtown, Boskenna cross, 

 and Trevorgance ; also in the Eectory garden, S. Just-in- Penwith ; 

 Lanherne ; Sancreed (by the Vicarage-gate), and in the church- 

 yards at the following places, Madron, Phillack, S. Levan and 

 Sancreed. 



(2). "With a band round the waist. — Sancreed, by Vicarage- 



(3). The Figure on a cross. — Trevilley (Sennen), and S . 

 Just-in-Penwith. 



(4). The example at St. Michael's Mount is the only one 

 which occurs on the shaft of the cross, in all other cases they are 

 sculptured on the heads of the crosses. 



(5). Only one incised example. — Trevu. 



The mediaeval manner of shewing the dead Christ on the 

 cross was introduced in the twelfth century, and became common 

 in the thirteenth. 



The other varieties, in the treatment of the Figure, will best 

 be described by taking the members separately.
