十字架 - .875 (84 Zolotniki) 银 - 1899-1908

华丽而罕见的正统神父胸十字架（Napersny Krest），由纯银铸成，追溯至俄帝国时期，末任沙皇尼古拉二世在位。

这一具体設計符合官方於1896年5月14日法律确立的模型，作为沙皇加冕仪式之纪念，专为俄帝国所有神父而设。

材质为纯银。带有84 zolotnik（纯度875/1000）的印记。
背面标记：采用第一类“ Kokoshnik ”印记，描绘向左面的女性轮廓，印有首席试金师“AC”的缩写〔Aleksandr Skovronsky / Aleksandr Romanov〕，可准确将该物品的制造时间定位在1899年至1908年之间。
背面还刻有金匠“BC”的西里尔字母标记。

符号与铭文的分析：
- 正面：中央为耶稣基督钉十字架的高浮雕形象，其上方以古教会斯拉夫文的圣短语：ГДЬ（主），ЦРЬ СЛВЫ（荣耀之王）以及 ІНЦІ（INRI）卷轴。十字两臂旁边分别是耶稣基督的 monogram ІС ХС。基督脚下的底部 depict 耶路撒冷的骷髅、亚当之头（Г А）以及 НИКА（胜利）字样。
- 背面：全部以铜凿刀刻。上部印有圣保罗前书提摩太后书（4:12）中的经文：“ѠБРАЗЪ БУДИ ВѢРНЫМЪ СЛОВОМЪ, ЖИТІЕМЪ, ЛЮБОВІЮ, ДУХОМЪ, ВѢРОЮ, ЧИСТОТОЮ”（在言语、行为、爱、圣灵、信仰、纯洁上成为信徒的榜样）。中部凸显尼古拉二世的庄严镶冠 monogram（Н II）。底部以西里尔数字刻有立法日期：“14 Maggio 1896”。

该物品在其年代背景下总体状况极佳。
正面的浮雕（尤其是基督脸庞与手部）以及背面的雕刻极为清晰，未因使用而磨损。
原始银色包浆得以精美保存，呈现自然的暗变色，突显细节深度。无可见的修复或改动。

这是一件具有极高历史、宗教与收藏价值的作品，非常适合研究帝制俄国银器与时期军徽收藏的专家。

----------------------------

Stunning and rare Orthodox priest pectoral cross (Napersny Krest) made of solid silver, dating back to the Russian Empire during the reign of the last Tsar, Nicholas II.

This specific design corresponds to the official model established by law on May 14, 1896, on the occasion of the solemn coronation ceremony of the Tsar, designated for all priests of the Russian Empire.

Made of solid silver. It features the 84 zolotnik hallmark (875/1000 purity).
Hallmarks: on the back, it features the first type of "Kokoshnik" mark with the profile of a woman facing left, bearing the initials "AC" of the Assay Master (Aleksandr Skovronsky / Aleksandr Romanov), which precisely dates the manufacture of the object between 1899 and 1908.
The maker's mark of the master goldsmith "BC" in Cyrillic characters is also present on the back.

Iconography and inscriptions:
- Front: In the center, it features a high-relief figure of the Crucified Jesus Christ, surmounted by sacred abbreviations in Old Church Slavonic: ГДЬ (Lord), ЦРЬ СЛВЫ (King of Glory), and the ІНЦІ (INRI) scroll. The monogram ІС ХС (Jesus Christ) is placed on either side of the arms. At the base, below Christ's feet, the cave of Golgotha is depicted with the skull of Adam (Г А) and the title НИКА (Conquers / Wins).
- Back: entirely hand-engraved. The upper section bears the biblical verse from the First Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy (4:12): «ѠБРАЗЪ БУДИ ВѢРНЫМЪ СЛОВОМЪ, ЖИТІЕМЪ, ЛЮБОВІЮ, ДУХОМЪ, ВѢРОЮ, ЧИСТОТОЮ» ("Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity"). The solemn crowned monogram of Nicholas II (Н II) stands out in the center. The date of institution is engraved at the base in Cyrillic numerals: "May 14, 1896".

The object is in excellent overall condition for its age.
The reliefs on the front (particularly the face of Christ and the hands) and the engravings on the back are remarkably sharp and not worn down by use.
The original silver patina has been beautifully preserved, with a natural darkening that enhances the depth of the details. No visible repairs or alterations.

A piece of the highest historical, ecclesiastical, and phaleristic value, ideal for experts in imperial Russian silver and historical decorations.

Dimensions: 117 x 61 mm.
Weight: 72 grams.
