The Lorraine cross with the beam terminals crossed (called bearing crutches) resulting in five crosses in one, remembering the five wounds of Christ. The beam terminals here joined as a circle enclosing the primary cross. The form, size, and workmanship are specifically related to the Crusader's crosses bearing the Jerusalem cross in honor of Godfrey of Bouillon, a Frankish Knight of the First Crusade, known as Baron of the Holy Sepulcher and the Crusader King, ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem following its victorious siege in the First Crusade. It follows, then that this is a variation of the Crusader's cross, worn by a crusader more than 1000 years ago. Gilt bronze, about 5/8" in diameter (0.59"). Well preserved. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored on a gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
