Item Details
Description
Ca. 1100-1300 AD. Crusaders Period. A bronze crucifix pendant comprising four arms with rounded terminals and incised linear decorations. In addition to the linear decorations, this cross displays a detailed image of Jesus being crucified. The cross, the principal symbol of Christianity, recalls the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the Christian faith. For more information on reliquary crosses, see Boas, A. J. (2016). Crusader Archaeology - The Material Culture of the Latin East. Taylor & Francis, 158. Size: L:55mm / W:38mm ; 7.5g. Provenance: Property of a London gentleman, formerly with the Parthenon gallery, previously in an old English collection formed in the 1980s.
