Ca. 1000 AD A silver cruciform pendant with scalloped arms and an integral circular suspension loop. The obverse features a stylised figure of Jesus during his crucifixion, the reverse bears Greek script. 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 faith of Christians. Size: L:34mm / W:22mm ; 2.82g Provenance: From the private collection of a South London art professional; previously in a collection formed on the UK/European art market in the 1990s.
