This cross was adapted from a design on a Bishop's crozier. Found in the village of Lismore, Ireland, it dates from the late 11th century and illustrates a passage from the Book of Exodus, 7:10 which descries how Aaron's staff became a serpent and devoured those created by Pharaoh's magicians. Aaron is shown wearing an Egyptian kilt and holding his staff which has become serpents.
