Medieval, Crusaders Era Bronze 美しい鉛製の十字架アミュレット ペンダント、信仰・守護・巡礼の象徴 • 聖地 (No reserve price)

A remarkable medieval lead cross amulet, attributed to the Crusader period and inspired by the devotional objects carried by pilgrims and knights journeying through the Holy Land during the 12th–13th centuries AD. Measuring 22 mm and weighing 5.67 g, the openwork design forms a distinctive equal-armed cross enclosed within a circular frame, a timeless symbol of Christian faith and spiritual protection. The surrounding circle represents eternity and God's infinite presence, while the four arms of the cross embody faith, hope, salvation, and divine guidance. Small raised pellets decorating the surface reflect a style frequently seen on medieval devotional objects, adding both visual appeal and symbolic significance. Lead amulets of this type were commonly worn by pilgrims and the faithful as personal expressions of devotion, serving as reminders of their spiritual journey and as protective talismans believed to offer divine guidance and blessing. Beautifully preserved with its authentic medieval surface, this ancient amulet has been carefully fitted with a silver bail and is supplied with a leather necklace cord, transforming it into a unique piece of wearable history. Cross: Faith, sacrifice, redemption, and divine protection Circle: Eternity, God's everlasting presence, and spiritual unity Openwork Design: The triumph of light over darkness and the enduring strength of belief Raised Pellets: Traditional medieval decorative elements symbolizing completeness and divine order Type: Medieval Crusader lead cross amulet pendant Date: Crusader Period, circa 12th–13th century AD (attributed) Material: Lead Diameter: 22 mm Weight: 5.67 g Style: Medieval Christian devotional amulet Condition: Ancient surface with expected age-related wear and patina
