  Fig. 
  195 
  is 
  a 
  brass 
  crucifix 
  obtained 
  by 
  Dr 
  Hinsdale 
  in 
  Pompey. 
  

   The 
  head 
  of 
  Christ 
  is 
  bent 
  unusually 
  low, 
  and 
  the 
  loop 
  rises 
  in 
  a 
  

   triangular 
  form 
  from 
  the 
  cross. 
  Fig. 
  204 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  crucifix 
  from 
  

   Pompey, 
  the 
  limbs 
  ending 
  in 
  trefoils. 
  Each 
  of 
  these 
  includes 
  a 
  

   small 
  circle, 
  but 
  the 
  general 
  design 
  has 
  become 
  obscure 
  through 
  use. 
  

   Fig. 
  211 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  brass 
  cross 
  with 
  several 
  perforations. 
  The 
  

   ends 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  arms 
  are 
  ornamented, 
  and 
  I. 
  H. 
  S. 
  appears 
  on 
  the 
  

   upper 
  arm. 
  Dr 
  Hinsdale 
  met 
  with 
  this 
  in 
  Pompey. 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  un- 
  

   usual 
  form. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  213 
  is 
  from 
  a 
  figure 
  furnished 
  by 
  Dr 
  Hinsdale 
  of 
  a 
  curious 
  

   bronze 
  crucifix 
  belonging 
  to 
  a 
  boy 
  in 
  Pompey. 
  It 
  has 
  two 
  cross- 
  

   bars, 
  and 
  each 
  limb 
  is 
  angularly 
  expanded 
  at 
  the 
  end. 
  On 
  the 
  

   obverse 
  the 
  arms 
  of 
  Christ 
  are 
  extended 
  on 
  the 
  tipper 
  limbs, 
  I. 
  N. 
  R. 
  I, 
  

   appearing 
  above 
  his 
  head. 
  SALVATOR 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  crossbar, 
  

   and 
  MVNDI 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  limb. 
  On 
  the 
  reverse 
  the 
  Virgin 
  occupies 
  

   the 
  center, 
  with 
  the 
  sun 
  above 
  her 
  head. 
  MATER 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  

   crossbar, 
  and 
  DEI 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  limb. 
  With 
  this 
  was 
  fig. 
  219, 
  a 
  fine 
  

   but 
  small 
  brass 
  crucifix 
  with 
  each 
  arm 
  terminating 
  in 
  trefoils, 
  each 
  of 
  

   which 
  incloses 
  a 
  human 
  face. 
  Christ 
  and 
  the 
  inscription 
  I. 
  N. 
  R. 
  I. 
  

   are 
  on 
  the 
  obverse; 
  the 
  reverse 
  has 
  two 
  angels 
  crowning 
  the 
  Virgin 
  

   Mary, 
  and 
  above 
  her 
  head 
  is 
  the 
  sun. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  216 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  fort 
  of 
  1696 
  and 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  fig, 
  

   213, 
  having 
  two 
  crossbars 
  and 
  similar 
  expansions 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  

   arms. 
  The 
  design 
  is 
  somewhat 
  obscure 
  and 
  no 
  letters 
  appear. 
  Fig. 
  

   218 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  site. 
  The 
  figure 
  of 
  Christ 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  obverse 
  

   as 
  usual. 
  The 
  reverse 
  shows 
  the 
  descending 
  dove, 
  the 
  Virgin, 
  and 
  

   the 
  angels 
  on 
  the 
  crossbar. 
  

  

  Fig. 
  208 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  cross 
  from 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  valley, 
  figured 
  by 
  Mr 
  

   S. 
  L. 
  Frey. 
  The 
  limbs 
  terminate 
  in 
  trefoils, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  some 
  sur- 
  

   face 
  decoration, 
  this 
  being 
  a 
  mere 
  ornament 
  of 
  comparatively 
  recent 
  

   days. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  silver, 
  and 
  the 
  loop 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  is 
  broken. 
  Fig. 
  215 
  

   is 
  also 
  one 
  of 
  Mr 
  Frey's 
  illustrations, 
  but 
  is 
  an 
  older 
  article. 
  Both 
  

   sides 
  are 
  adorned 
  with 
  emblems, 
  the 
  obverse 
  having 
  I. 
  N. 
  R. 
  I., 
  the 
  

   crown 
  of 
  thorns, 
  nails 
  and 
  hammer, 
  ladder, 
  skull 
  and 
  crossbones; 
  

   while 
  the 
  reverse 
  has 
  the 
  heart 
  in 
  the 
  center, 
  the 
  spears 
  beneath, 
  and 
  

   other 
  emblems 
  on 
  the 
  limbs.
