Description:
Ancient Byzantine Bronze Cross Pendant found in Bethlehem,300-600 AD Mounted in 18K Gold Setting .Adorned with 3 Ruby’s. THIS GORGEOUS BRONZE BYZANTINE CROSS WAS FOUND IN BETHLEHEM AND WAS CREATED BETWEEN THE FOURTH AND SIXTH CENTURIES A.D. ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING FEATURES OF THIS CROSS IS THE SIMPLICITY OF ITS DESIGN. DECORATED WITH FIVE CONCENTRIC CIRCLES. ONE IS AT THE CENTER, AND THE OTHER FOUR ARE LOCATED AT THE EXTREMITIES OF THE CROSS. THESE PROBABLY SYMBOLIZE THE POINTS WHERE CHRIST'S HEAD, HANDS, HEART, AND FEET WOULD HAVE LAIN. THIS CROSS EXHIBITS A REFINED GEOMETRIC ELEGANCE WHICH IS MANIFESTED IN ITS FOUR EQUIDISTANT RECTANGULAR ARMS. IT IS A WORK OF ART WHICH COMBINES BOTH RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM AND ATTENTION TO FORM. THE BRONZE FROM WHICH IT IS FASHIONED IS GRACED WITH THE PATINA OF TIME AND REVEALS ITS ANCIENT ORIGINS. Price includes packing, shipping and handling, insurance, Certificate of Authenticity, export approval from the Antiquities Department in Israel. Please allow 1 week for delivery.
