The cross features a trefoil-ended silhouette, typical of traditional liturgical styles. The body of Christ is in relief, with a radiating halo around the head, highlighting the details of the design. The edges of the cross are enhanced with a contrasting golden tone against the darker center, indicative of natural wear and an antique finish. The round bail, positioned at the top of the cross, allows it to be used as a pendant for a chain or rosary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass work, visible on the surface, offers a patinated and nuanced appearance. The contours show signs of oxidation and slight irregularity, characteristic of an object crafted using ancient techniques. The ends of the arms are adorned with clover-shaped motifs, giving the whole a solemn and classic look. This cross is displayed on a box with gilded ornaments, accentuating its decorative and devotional dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe relief Christ has refined details, including the drapery of the loincloth, the open arms, and the inclined head. The contrast between the gilded parts and the darker areas highlights the depth of the motifs. The cross has no visible inscription on the side shown, nor any apparent mark. The ensemble suggests a 19th or early 20th-century style of manufacture, without being able to state this with certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible face shows no major cracks or breaks, but there are small traces of wear and an irregular patina on the edges, typical of prolonged use. The suspension ring also shows slight oxidation. No additional decorative elements appear on the front face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
