MEDIEVAL PILGRIM’S CROSS, C.900-1100 AD

Gilt bronze, just over 1 ¼” (1.30”) height plus the suspension loop. The beams flared from the middle and the cross beam above center. The back recessed for inclusion of a sacred relic like the hair of a saint or splinter of the true cross. Ghostly abstracted Corpus Christi with arms upraised in the orans position. Classic Medieval iconography in the full frontal representation devoid of perspective. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored. On an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain, jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
