Unique medieval double-sided bronze pectoral cross with an archaic pattern. Medieval Period 1100-1400 AD. The shape of this cross is astonishing: its rays do not end abruptly, but instead curl smoothly into graceful spirals, like the blossoming branches of the mystical Tree of Life. It is a "blooming" cross, a symbol of resurrection and eternal renewal. But the main secret of this object lies in its ornamentation. On each side, we see seven distinct concentric circles—one in the center and two on each beam. This archaic "eye" pattern has been known since ancient times as a powerful amulet. It symbolizes the all-seeing eye of the Creator, His constant presence and protection from all evil. Seven "eyes" are the number of completeness and perfection. The deep, dark patina covering the bronze is like the velvet of time. It does not conceal, but rather highlights, each relief element, telling the story of this object's long journey through the ages. The heavy top with traces of friction from the cord testifies to the fact that this cross was a faithful companion to its owner, his protection and consolation.
