No. 85124129
Due to custom regulations we can not ship outside the E.U. Please make sure you have an EU shipping address before bidding.
Byzantine bone cross pendant in the shape of a Latin cross with the name of Jesus Christ 'IC XC' inscribed on the front. Complete with an integral suspension loop, plain reverse side. The cross is strung on a modern leather jewellery cord with clasp (included).
Total length: ± 50 cm
Cross: ± 46,5 x 22,5 mm
Condition: good solid condition. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. See images.
In Eastern Orthodoxy, the most widely used Christogram is a four-letter abbreviation ICXC—a traditional abbreviation of the Greek words for "Jesus Christ" (that is, the first and last letters of each of the words ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ—written "IHCOYC XPICTOC".
In Greek and Byzantine practice names were abbreviated by using the first letter, the first two letters, and the first and last letters. The IC-XC monogram can often be found on Byzantine icons, coins and jewellery.
Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
The Latin cross appears in Christian art towards the end of the Late Antiquity. Many Medieval churches are designed using the Latin cross plan. When looked at from above, it takes the shape of a Latin cross.
The Latin cross is used to represent all of Christianity and Christendom.
