NORTHERN EUROPEAN CONVERT’S CROSS NECKLACE, 9th-10th CENTURY

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 about 7/8” (0.87”) in height with a centered cross beam and central web like diamond. The beam terminals are small spheres. Surface textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with 24karat gold overlay restored on an 18” gilt neck chain for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
