Front of a cross-shaft
This section of a cross-shaft was found on the small Island of Texa, off the south coast of Islay in the Inner Hebrides. The cross was raised around 1380 for Reginald - probably the son of John I, Lord of the Isles - the eponym of Clanranald.
The front of the shaft shows Reginaldus wearing a helmet, protection for the neck and shoulders, and a quilted protective coat. He has a sword attached to his belt and is grasping an axe.
