Cross A 215 – Fragment of a Byzantine 'Reliquary' Cross Pendant Copper-alloy. The surface is decorated with raised roundels of varying sizes imitating gold granulation, with a central slit flanked by roundels in a cruciform arrangement. Inside has been placed a organic material, probably wood, perhaps taken from some holy object such as a saint's personal possession; the presence of a relic imbued the pendant with religious power. Unfortunately on this fragment the holy relic is missing in time. Reference: cf. Platonov, M.S.Platar Katalog 2004, Kiev, 2004 p.224ff. Some earth deposits still remains, uncleaned and as found. Provenance:from the Balkans!!! Size:36/32 mm. ca. 9th.-11th.Century A.D. Authenticity Guaranteed 100% +++
