Ca. 1100-1300 AD. A bronze pendant in the form of a cross with a rounded suspension loop at the top. The front bears a moulded relief of a cross. The Cross is the principal symbol of Christianity, recalling 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. This beautiful item may have belonged to a crusader knight, who traveled to the Holy land to defend his faith. This item is in wearable condition and it comes with a modern necklace cord.Size: L:37.6mm / W:26.6mm ; 8.29gProvenance: From the private collection of a South London art professional; previously in a collection formed on the UK/European art market in the 1980s;
