Description
**Previously Listed At $700**
Russia, ca. 17th century CE. A special antique Russian Orthodox bronze cross embellished with detailed low relief. Beyond the aesthetic beauty of this piece, is its extensive iconographic program adorning the front side and lengthy Cyrillic prayer on the back. On the front we see the crucifixion of the Son of God. Above this is Christ the Savior flanked by a pair of angels, below a skull representing Golgotha or Skull Hill, the location where Adam was reportedly buried and Christ was crucified. Turn it over, and the program continues with a prayer. All finely cast, remarkably detailed. A lovely work of religious art with an integral loop for suspension on verso. Size: 3" W x 5" H (7.6 cm x 12.7 cm)
Provenance: Ex-private Orange County, CA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
