Early Christian period through the period of conversions under Charlemagne. Gilt bronze, just under 1 ½” (1.47”) height. Dramatically flared swallow tail beams in the Knights Templar fashion. The cross beam centered. Circle and dot motifs to both faces. One with 5, commemorating the five wounds of Christ and the other with 11 in a calculated asymmetrical pattern, perhaps a celestial reference. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored and mounted to an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with certification of authenticity, and jewelry gift box.
