Byzantine Style Bronze Reliquary Cross Pendant
20th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £59

Acquired 1980-1990s. From the private collection of H.N., Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, UK.
Usually the reliquary crosses or enkolpia, were composed of two separate halves, inside of which a relic of a saint was contained; this could have been a piece of cloth or a bone. The practice, in the Orthodox Church, is still in place today, sometimes by using reproductions of ancient styles, like our specimen, probably realised at the beginning of the last century. -
