The original, probably 9th Century, was found in St George's Street, Canterbury. It is now in the Royal Museum there.
It is a bronze cruciform broach with triangular panels of silver, incised with a triquetra and inlaid with niello.
A replica of it is mounted on the wall just inside the South West porch entrance of the Cathedral. Similar replicas mounted on fragments of stone from Canterbury Cathedral are placed in Anglican Cathedrals in all parts of the world, linking them with the Mother Church of Canterbury.

This cross features a small square in the centre, from which extend four arms, wider on the outside, so that the arms look like triangles, symbolising the Trinity. The Trinity holds that God is three consubstantial persons - the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as "one God in three Divine Persons".
