Lot of 6 Byzantine Komnenian Bronze Crosses

Item Details

Description

Mediterranean area, Byzantine Empire, Komnenian (Comnenian) period, ca. 10th to 12th century CE. A collection of six bronze crosses with beautiful and varied designs - one with Christ, several with the circular style quite popular throughout medieval Christianity, and one with an outlined inner cross. Each has a loop for suspension. This time period was particularly fraught with religious conflict in the Byzantine Empire, with ongoing wars against the Abbasid Caliphate and a high level of participation in the Crusades. The display of Christian symbols would have been an important social identity marker for these people, and we can imagine them choosing to wear these fine, simple crosses to demonstrate their religious feeling. Size of largest: 0.8" W x 1.55" H (2 cm x 3.9 cm)
