description

Double-sided cross pendant with figure of Christ crucified wearing white enameled loin cloth on double-faceted cross arms with scrolling foliage and flowers in translucent green and red enamel. On the flat reverse side are the Instruments of Passion (with traces of the same enamel color combination). Above Christ’s head is the titulus scroll with INRI inscribed and below his feet a white enameled skull’s head. On top pendant loop with ring, and on the ends of the vertical cross arms and lower arm small loops from which pearls would have been suspended. The enamel especially on the reverse shows typical signs of wear through age. The pendant is in good wearable condition.
