Description from the seller
A set of 3 medieval bronze body crosses.
Early Medieval Period 1100-1400 AD.
Each cross possesses its own unique sculptural quality and form:
-A cross with a circle at its center—an elegant composition that combines the symbolism of the eternal circle and the cross. A raised, cross-shaped ornament is clearly visible in the center.
-An ornate, relief-decorated cross, featuring characteristic flared ends on the arms and a distinct, four-pointed, diamond-shaped motif at the center.
-A cross with fleur-de-lis-like (teardrop-shaped) terminals: a classic example of medieval Christian devotional art, characterized by elegant lines.
A natural, centuries-old patina in deep dark-green and olive hues, underscoring the authenticity and great age of the artifacts.In excellent condition. All loops for suspension are intact and functional. The surfaces show natural signs of age, which lend the items a special charm.
