Ca. 600-800 AD. A bronze cross pendant meticulously crafted from bronze, with flaring terminals that give the piece a unique and dynamic look. At the junction and at each arm, there is a concentric circles motif that embodies the five wounds of Christ. This motif found in many Christian artifacts, including bronze cross pendants, is a representation of the suffering of Jesus Christ during his crucifixion. The five wounds typically consist of the wounds on Christ’s hands, feet, and side. For a similar, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 37.75.39.
