Product description
This is an antique religious (Catholic) piece of jewelry. It is a French pectoral cross pendant from the era of Napoleon III, featuring a black ebony inlay in a silver-plated brass frame. The style is associated with Christian craftsmanship from the mid-19th century, popular during the period of Napoleon III (circa 1850-1870). It depicts the body of Christ and features a skull design at the bottom, symbolizing Golgotha. On the back, a rose is located in the center of the cross. These crosses were originally made as large pendants for clergy or devout individuals to wear on the chest.
PLEASE NOTE: due to age and heavy use, the silver plating has worn off in most places, exposing the underlying brass.
