Description
Silvered bronze. Just under 1 1/8" height, of elegant form. Crossbeam centered with concentric circles at the intersection. Each beam with a triple circle terminal which later evolved into the "crutches" of the Jerusalem Cross, which represented five crosses in one and was popularized by the Crusades. The emergence from the Dark Ages is embodied in the rise to power of the Frankish King, Charlemagne in 768 (founder of the Holy Roman Empire after 800) followed by conquering southern Europe from France to Italy and much of Northern Europe. The condition for peace was the acceptance of Christianity, under penalty of death. The conversion was effective and Northern Europeans, primarily Saxons, wore small crosses to affirm their Christianity. Particularly well made and preserved for these and professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on a modern Sterling silver neck chain. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
