Description
This is a beautiful Antique beginning of XX Century Russian Orthodox solid bronze Cross with Byzantine crescent. The Orthodox Byzantine crescent symbolized royal power. One rare variation of the Russian Cross is the 'Cross over Crescent'. I believe the Cross was made in the XX Century, circa 1920th. On the front it has image of Russian Orthodox cross & Old Russian letters; on the back it is Quote from the Bible in Old Russian language. The Cross is in very good condition, the raised letters are in perfect condition, which is very rare. Size is 1.6" (with the hook) x 0.8". The cross is a principal symbol for Christians.
