Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $200**

Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th century CE. A pretty example of a reliquary cross, composed of two cast bronze pieces. One face has a relief series of images: four saints, perhaps the Evangelists, each one set into a rounded arm around a central motif of the Virgin and Child. The other has an incised image of Christ with angelic faces surrounding him on the three upper arms. The piece has a heavy, square loop for suspension, decorated with the face of God the Father, which hangs above a hinge to open the cross and reveal the relic inside. Size: 1.6" W x 2.3" H (4.1 cm x 5.8 cm)
