Description from the seller
Medieval bronze cross pendant.
Early Medieval Period 1100-1400 AD.
The obverse and reverse sides of the cross exhibit the characteristic texture of ancient casting. Traces of age and oxidation are visible on the surface, serving as undeniable proof of authenticity. Upon closer inspection, one can discern traces of a subtle geometric or pseudo-granulated pattern on the arms, typical of this type of artifact.
Excellent condition. The metal is solid, featuring a natural, noble patina with deep green hues (malachite and azurite) covering the entire surface. Signs of age and minor pitting only serve to highlight its venerable antiquity. The cross retains its original geometry, and the arms are undeformed.
The metal is strong.Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Wearable. 100% original.The cross comes with a jewelry cord.
