Ancient Byzantine style bronze encolpion cross features a relief of the Crucifixion on the front and various saintly figures in medallions on the reverse. This bronze pectoral cross displays a rich, aged patina with significant surface wear and visible cracking, consistent with a historical artifact. The design includes Greek inscriptions and a traditional flared arm shape, typical of religious reliquary crosses from the medieval period.
No hole on top to hang this. Beautiful antique relic.
