Description
Circular, pierced with a cross potent, i.e. with "crutches" at the beam ends. That form is also known as the Crusader's cross, having been an element in the arms of Godfrey Bouillon which he wore during the First Crusade. For that reason, it is also known as the Jerusalem Cross. In this instance, it is executed in the most elegant form with the crutches and cross beams shaped as fleur de lys. This example is just under 1" diameter plus the intact suspension loop. The front in full relief (rounded section elements) and the back flat. Professionally refurbished with the silver overly restored, on modern sterling silver chain. Actual pendant worn by a crusader nearly 1000 years ago!
