AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Medieval Crusaders era, silver pendant in the shape of a Latin cross with linear decorations on the arms, circle-dot in the centre. Complete with integral suspension loop, plain reverse side. The cross will be delivered on a leather jewellery cord, perfect for modern wear.
Size: ± 29,3 x 20,4 mm
Condition: good solid condition, complete, wearable on modern jewellery cord. Signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
The Latin cross appears in Christian art towards the end of the Late Antiquity. The Latin cross is used to represent all of Christianity and Christendom.
Many Medieval churches are designed using the Latin cross plan. When looked at from above, it takes the shape of a Latin cross. One of the earliest Latin cross buildings in Europe is Old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome (initiated around 319 AD).
During the first centuries AD, Christian symbols were worshipped and worn in secret. After Christianity was adopted as an official religion (380 AD) the cross became a prominent symbol. It provided comfort and piece in times of troubles, particularly during the Crusades and during the many pandemics that swept over Europe.
To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
