Transition from pagan to christian, red cross disc
European Museums, The British MuseumA red cross solar disc pendant, transition from pagan to christian Beliefs in transition These
objects reflect the Anglo-Saxons' transition from pagan to Christian
beliefs during the A.D. 600s. Fish, depicted on the fine buckle and
circular mount, were an early Christian symbol but had also been used in
pagan times. The gold disc pendant shows four face masks familiar from
traditional art, but their cross-shaped arrangement implies a Christian
meaning. The crosses represented on the gold and garnet pendants, silver
pin, copper alloy buckle and pendants are more overly Christian. A.D.
