Medieval Bronze cross. 非常に良い状態です。 (No reserve price)

Beautiful bronze medieval Body Cross. Early Medieval Period 1100-1400 AD. Double-sided cross: At the center of the composition, on the center of the cross, is a deep, raised diamond with a distinct depression. From this "heart" of the cross, arms radiate, decorated with a complex, tactile ornament reminiscent of intertwined cords or a stylized floral pattern.The shape of the arms of the cross—widening toward the tips—imparts a special stability and solemnity. The upper arm culminates in a massive, solid-cast hanging loop that has retained its original shape and strength. This "soft" relief tells a story of faith and devotion, passed down from generation to generation. A noble, deep patina covers this side in an even layer, emphasizing the artifact's venerable age. Such crosses were more than just ornaments; they were powerful amulets and visible symbols of faith that medieval men wore on their chests throughout their lives. The metal is strong.Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Wearable. 100% original.The cross comes with a jewelry cord. Look at many photos for your own impression.100% original. Material: Bronze. Size : 24 x 19 mm. Weight: 1.48 grams. The item was purchased in 2015 in Barcelona, ​​Spain from G.A. as part of a private Spanish collection dating back to the 1980s.
