AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Byzantine Bronze Cross Pendant

An ancient Byzantine bronze cross pendant, dated to the 8th–10th century AD. Its simple, balanced shape gives it a clear and distinctive silhouette.

The front has a notably smooth surface, while the reverse is more textured. This contrast highlights the cross’s aged character and makes both sides visually interesting.

With its suspension fitting, the cross was designed to be worn as a pendant. A restrained yet expressive example of Byzantine religious jewellery.

Weight: 14.60 g
Size: 51.6 mm
