Description
The emergence from the Dark Ages is embodied in the rise to power of the Frankish King, Charlemagne in 768 (founder of the Holy Roman Empire after 800) followed by conquering southern Europe from France to Italy and much of Northern Europe. The condition for peace was acceptance of Christianity, under penalty of death. Conversion was effective and Northern Europeans, primarily Saxons, wore small crosses to affirm their Christianity. This example is just under 1” in height (0.99”) with a centered cross beam and a block at the junction with a ghostly figure on each side. The bulbous beam terminals have small nub ends. Quite smooth glossy surface throughout. Professionally refurbished with 24karat gold overlay restored on an 18” gilt neck chain for modern wear. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on a modern Sterling silver neck chain. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity. Purchases of one or more ancient jewelry lots (that have $13 flat shipping prices) will only cost $13 in total combined shipping. •Celtic Roman Viking Medieval Norse Scandinavian ancient ring bracelet necklace
