Ca. 1000-1300 AD. Medieval Western Europe. A bronze cross with four equal-length arms with ribbed decoration. The centre of the cross and each of the ends of the arms feature concentric rondels. A rounded suspension loop projects from the top. The reverse is undecorated. The cross, the principal symbol of Christianity, recalls the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the Christian faith. For more information on reliquary crosses, see Boas, A. J. (2016). Crusader Archaeology – The Material Culture of the Latin East. Taylor & Francis, 158. Size: L:32mm / W:25mm ; 4.4g. Provenance: Obtained on the London art market in the early 2000s; formerly from the collection of an English Family, by descents from the 1970s.
