中世纪,十字军时代 黄铜色 “圣圆之大十字架” — 游行风格大型十字吊坠,配60cm银链 (没有保留价)

An exceptionally large and imposing Medieval bronze cross, attributed to the Crusader era, measuring approximately 95 mm in length and distinguished by an extraordinary abundance of hand-worked concentric circle and ring-and-dot ornament. The cross has a powerful flared silhouette with rounded terminals at the extremities of its arms. Rather than being left plain, almost the entire front is animated by individually applied or punched circular motifs of varying dimensions. Larger concentric circles occupy prominent positions at the terminals and along the vertical axis, while numerous smaller ring-and-dot marks fill the surrounding field. This dense geometric decoration gives the surface an almost celestial character, reminiscent of stars, solar discs or protective eyes scattered across the body of the cross. Ring-and-dot ornament is an ancient decorative vocabulary that continued to appear in medieval metalwork; its exact significance on this individual object cannot be established, so the motifs are best appreciated as both ornamental and potentially symbolic. Particularly striking is the contrast between the decorated front and the comparatively plain reverse, where the original form and aged bronze surface can be clearly observed. At approximately 95 mm, this is not a discreet little devotional cross. Its substantial dimensions give it a commanding presence when worn or displayed, suggesting an object intended to make a strong visual statement of Christian identity and devotion. The surface displays an attractive combination of deep aged bronze, green patination and warmer exposed metal, while the recessed circular decoration remains remarkably expressive. Culture/Period: Medieval / Crusader Era, attributed Date: Approximately 11th–13th century AD, attribution Object: Large devotional cross / wearable pendant Material: Bronze Length: Approx. 95 mm Decoration: Numerous concentric ring-and-dot motifs with prominent circular terminals Reverse: Predominantly undecorated Condition: Age-related wear and patination with the extensive geometric decoration strongly visible. Please refer carefully to the photographs. Presentation: Presented with a modern suspension ring and chain for wearable display; these elements are not ancient. A remarkable cross of almost monumental proportions for a personal pendant — its field of mysterious concentric circles transforms the familiar Christian cross into an exceptionally decorative and commanding medieval jewel.
