Byzantine Gold Cross Pendant with Scrollwork and Garnets - Beautiful!
Circa 9th-11th century AD

Crafted in gold, this stunning pendant takes the form of a Latin cross with its arms slightly flaring outwards. The top end features a suspension loop, while each of the arms and the junction is embellished with a raised cell set with a beautiful garnet cabochon. The scrollwork decoration on each arm's upper face adds to the ornate design, while the reverse remains flat and unworked.
The cross holds paramount significance within Christianity as the primary symbol representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event in Christian theology. It serves as a profound emblem of faith, redemption, and spiritual transformation, embodying core principles and beliefs of the Christian faith.
