MEDIEVAL PILGRIM’S CROSS, 14TH-15TH CENTURY AD

$215.00
Silvered bronze, just over 1” in height.  The  Lorraine cross, symmetrical with expansions (“crutches”) to the beam terminals, specifically related to the Crusader’s pendants bearing the Jerusalem cross in honor of Godfrey of Bouillon, a Frankish Knight of the First Crusade, known as Baron of the Holy Sepulcher and the Crusader King, ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem following its victorious siege in the First Crusade. It represents five crosses in one, remembering the five wounds of Christ. These were produced in the Holy Land for pilgrims who wore them at home as prestige symbols. They were sold at shrines of saints where holy relics of the saints, sometimes, the whole corpus, were preserved and the back of the cross is hollow, originally containing a relic of the saint.
