Dési van Rhee

Rare medieval / Byzantine iron procession cross - on the cross beams decorated with riveted convex solid silver circular-shaped / concentric applications ranging in size - the smallest with a point in the middle.

The (pointed) circle in Christianity is - among others - the symbol of infinity, of perfection and, therefore, of God - God is described as a circle of which the circumference is nowhere and the centre is everywhere - the egg, which is round everywhere in cross section, while its whole is seen as oval, holds within it the “vesica piscis” - it also served as a way to repel evil and bring luck. 

These kinds of crosses were placed on a stick.



Dimensions: 38 x 31 cm.
Condition: Very good - taking into consideration the material and the old age -part of the mounting stem at the bottom is missing - slightly cleaned, especially the silver - see further all the pictures to form your opinion!

Registered shipment with track and trace.
